I played rugby with a Johno on the wing. This was in the 70's and he eventually played for the Army and Combined Services. Bleeding fast was Johno, is this the same guy? You should give more information on your Public Profile.

I only know one Johno on the wing that was the train, had a neat car in Tidworth use to give me & Beano a lift to the Motorway so we could hitch to north Wales on a Friday mind you was a push to get a way so early as Johno and he left in Lemgo to play rugby for Newport I think?

Is that you mate????

And if it is you you also went for selection in the early days???

Welcome Johno nice to have you on the Forum

So, Johno, You have not answered my question. Are you the same Johno I spent some time with trying to teach you the side-step? You had just picked up rugby and after side-stepping into the "soccer" posts a few times you started to get the hang of it to avoid the pain. We enjoyed some great sevens tournaments together with people like Stumpy Williams 27 (Dennis Roy Pretty Boy).
I see you have been on the Forum today so please get back to me. You can PM me and let me know what you have been up to.
Cheers

Hi Johno,
There is only one I remember' used to have a lovely Capri with about 14 headlights on the front of it, from Newport, used to have lifts to South Wales
I taught him how to play rugby I remember! A member of the Mortars, used to think he was jack the lads with the girls, no offence intended Johno.

A Boy Soldier in Oswestry!

Nice to hear you are back in the fold, fancy coming to the support company reunion in September?

Regards
