I recall a story (I think it was true) of Martin Rogers holding a toy gun to a rider's head as a way of motivating him to up his game on one occasion. It might have been Greg Szczpanik who was usually scoring 000 but on that occasion Martin's methods worked. So I wonder which method Stewart Dickson is using to get Cleggy motivated later in matches? Pretty sure the rider was Andrez Huszcza, and I think it happened when Leicester were struggling to beat Oxford in an inter league cup match in1980 or 81. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbw 869 Posted July 25, 2022 The blackboard rubber often took flight during our history lessons aimed with locked on precision! For the youth of today the blackboard was the teacher's version of a laptop screen where chalk was used to write on it......hence the need of a blackboard rubber! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
