FAVOURITE BROWNS CLUB PLAYER AND WHY?
No individual player as all and every one who turns up Tuesdays and Thursdays has a laugh and a bit of banter.

Shared honours….Defence – Jimmy and Billy The Scot, they kick you from behind. Attack- Rod Razor and Jeff Scissor legs…….these two kick you from the front!

BIGGEST THRILL
Hard one to call. Being blessed with two great children. Then racing wise, to plan winning the Tote Cesarewitch at Newmarket two and a quarter mile over a three year plan and doing it. Oh and getting my refs licence.
