....for your messages of support during my recent cancer treatment. I have come through radiotherapy in discomfort from mouth ulceration but relatively unscathed. It remains to be seen how much of my once glorious beard returns but I am feeling good and hoping to make at least one Pool game before the end of the season. Probably Barnsley away can be combined with a visit to see one of my many sons who lives on Silkstone Common, 20 yards from the site of last year's notorious murder.
