Moorcroft, David We were friends with Dave in 1968 when he was playing with the Dallas Tornado. We invited him to dinner at our apartment in Arlington, Texas. Our dinner was typical Texas cuisine ham, potatoes and corn. David apologized that he could not eat the corn as it was food for hogs back home!!!!! We lost contact with Dave when he returned to England and wish we could reconnect.
