Rounding Them Up
ODGE’S recent cartoon on the man not interested in sport just about fits me to a T. It is all the more credit, therefore, to Winston McCarthy that he can really entertain me in his YA Sports Digest. Comic and curious facets of sporting history and legend combine to pass the time very quickly. Who would have thought that Wales would possess three of the original jersey worn by Bob Deans at that epoch-making Rugby match, or that in our hard-headed century a famous footballer could die in two places at once-in New Zealand, and also on Gallipoli? So it goes on with that racy and insisting voice. I am glad that I don’t have to contradict Winston, though I sometimes get the feeling that I have done so, and that he is firmly and painstakingly putting me right.
