Thought For The Day

Mr Puddlecote Sr often regales us of the time in the early 70s when he played against Andy Ripley. An awesome, unstoppable prospect on the pitch - a gentleman off it. We could all do with remembering these lines from his Telegraph obituary.

“Dare we hope? We dare. Can we hope? We can. Should we hope? We must, because to do otherwise is to waste the most precious of gifts, given so freely by God to all of us. So when we do die, it will be with hope and it will be easy and our hearts will not be broken.”
