Chiyonofuji was the first Sumo wrestler I saw who relied more on body strength and technique than body weight.

He made Sumo watchable at the time.

 

Each to their own but he is still a sweating fat bloke.

If they moved like this they would soon shed the weight.

 

A good shepherd, a loss to his flock. RIP

The opposition in the game he scored 499 amassed just 293 runs over two innings. Hanif won the match by an innings & 206 off his own bat.

i am impressed by the way the other team were tidily all out off the last ball of an over in each innings and how their inningses lasted 59 and 41 overs making a neat 100. it appeals to the ocd* in me.

* or cdo, as we prefer to call it.

 

I am shocked and saddened to hear Paul Dixon has passed away. He was a City supporters as well as a really nice guy and someone I classed as a friend. I played football with Paul in amateur league days, and even though he became a very successful business man, never lost his down to earth friendly nature. RIP Paul.

 

It never quite happened with him and City unfortunately, I remember there was even talk of him getting involved with GY (did owt ever come of that?)
We would have been lucky to get big John of Karelia Cars in the mid to late 90s

Kinell read Kenny Baker and thought you meant Kenny of Wolfreton fame. Good lad is Kenny and a pure psychopath when he was on the pitch.

Nick M - retired 5 years ago after gobbling steelworks **** for 40 years. A madly eccentric & reclusive loner, a man with not a bad bone in his body. Died all on his tod ''sometime last/this month'', found when a neighbour realised he'd not seen him for a week or two.

RIP mate.
