       Certainly does! I'm pleased to say there are quite a few of us
       who appear to be of a certain age group :)

       Quins game in the September

       As a kid Jim Clark, Graham Hill & Jimmy Greaves. Later on Ellen
       Macarthur, Ben Aislie, Jonny Wilkinson. There's plenty of others
       too but those would be my top picks.

       Wilkinson's interesting. Reading his autobiography was the first
       time I read one and thought "I'm really glad you exist, but I am
       also really glad that I am not you." He seems like a guy who
       really struggled to get comfortable in his own skin.

       Always loved watching him play most especially at The Middlesex
       Sevens (in its original form obviously). How the crowd loved
       jeering London Welsh!

       Certainly an interesting and complex character.
