Aussie cricketer Alan Davidson, 92. Perhaps best known for his outstanding all-round performance in the famous tied test against the West Indies in 1960.

Great player by all accounts, isca, but needed some gentle encouragement! Richie Benaud was an expert at getting the best out of him. ("Just one more over, Al!")

A very good manager
I see on Facebook that there is the comment that he had been interested in the Exeter job. No idea if this is true

Alan Hawkshaw was mentioned a few pages back.

If you are having a bad day, then I guarantee just one minute of this will pick you up. Alan and friends, bringing the joy ...
