BOBBATH 467 Posted December 13, 2007 Yes what about Clive Hitch(recall him at Middlesbro in 1964) and Pete Munday anyone know how they are doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef 105 Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) Hitchy was one of my favourites, a real battler....partner to the great Briggo in the late 60s . Heard he has ill health now . Pete Munday always seemed to score a maximum in the wet...last I heard he was living in his native Southampton area , in the motor trade , although i'm sure Rob Bamford will inform if incorrect . Keener still lives in Upper Minety , Killer in the Swindon area . Martin Ashby still has his motor cycle repair business in Marlborough . Barry Duke still lives in Penhill ,stilll attends the Abbey . Broady is a regular ,still lives locally has a building business . The great man Briggo attends the occasional meeting . Don't know about Pete Jackson though ? Great team and great characters...half were local lads who took great pride in wearing the Robin , and the last team to bring the title to Wiltshire 40 years ago .

BOBBATH 467 Posted December 13, 2007 Keef, thank you for a wonderful post-sorry to hear about Clive Hitch-he was also member of the PL championship winning Rayleigh Rockets in 1960-then used to travel all the way to Middlesbrough with John Fitzpatrick for the Bears-I think Fitz packed it up around then.I recall Pete Munday doing well in the wet-didn't Barry Duke have a bout with cancer a few years ago-may be mistaken on that.
