Devastating on his day, coming off the wrong foot and whirling like an alien windmill.

Some remember him by the impudent nick "Alan", but he was really always froggy.

Back around 1970, Froggy Thomson impersonations were all the go at net sessions.

Only because they were copying Mike Procter.

The (joking) point being that he was quite grotesquely contorted in a different way (hence the "looking glass" comment, Alice, etc) :rolleyes:

Oh well, never mind.

NSR, taips knew what you meant, Pete.

Don't worry, just waiting for confirmation.
