BLAST FROM THE PAST

Now registered with Keelby for Lincs League duty is Alan Wilson, who many will remember for his connections with Bottesford Town Cricket Club during its early years, when home games were being played at Ashby Ville, Scunthorpe, and before the current Birch Park set-up was established. He skippered one of their sides for a time.
All-rounder Alan was a very successful football club manager, notably with Ashby Institute FC, whom he steered to the Scunthorpe and District Saturday League division one championship in the late 1980s.
A year or two back Alan, who now lives on the North Bank of the Humber, was due to appear in one of our August bank holiday Monday charity games at Outcasts - Ian Fletcher's X1 against my In A Spin X1 - but couldn't make it in the end.
