Hello John (Shearer), Alistair (Coulson) and George.

I also remember being in Hebburn and hearing the mournful sound of the Souter foghorn all the way from Marsden.

George, you being carried shoulder-high and all your team cheering, after having lost the game, might have raised a few eyebrows and brought puzzled looks from the other team! Ha-ha! 🙂

With £18 each from your namesake winning the Grand National, I bet you all felt that you had a lottery win.
'Lottery' won the Grand National in 1839, so you're probably older than I thought, he-he!

Cheers,
Barry.
