Cologne 1994

1994 brought a trip to Cologne - although the matches were played across the border against Dutch opposition. This is significant, since Andy Sheridan - or 'Strawman' as he is more affectionately known - had forgotten his passport. On the way back from the second match he was convinced we were being pursued by enthusiastic German border guards and spent half an hour in a very much over-used coach toilet. Many players were convinced that the second match was the 'Billy Kellock Testimonial' and was to receive mass coverage in the local media (Billy Kellock, of course, being a local hero). In the end, one man and his dog turned up to watch and a large number of teetotal players were left feeling a bit daft!
