I spent many happy hours playing for Allestree Rovers with Dave….a very talented player. My brother, who worked with him, tells me he was even better at the Telegraph crossword….. and was also the king of general knowledge. He also tells me he was the best freight engineer he ever came across. I feel honoured to have spent some time with him…how lucky was I. My condolences to all the family.
