I'm going to get emotional talking about him because I always do. When did you
00:00:03
guys meet? 1976, right? Beginning of the school year. Um, two guys who didn't
00:00:07
know each other sat on a pew in the the assembly hall and got talking. We just developed a great friendship.
00:00:13
And it was a friendship based on a more of a mutual interest in sport. He was obviously known as a cricketer, but he
00:00:19
was talented at so many other sports. And I was the guy that was eventually going to forge, you know, a career as a
00:00:24
rugby player. He had found his heart his soulmate in Lraine. They just didn't get
00:00:27
enough time together. Marty's funeral service we first arrived and sat in there playing on a screen was his
00:00:34
hundred at Lords his last hund and Lords was hallowed turf farm just the majesty
00:00:40
of this man batting is just it was amazing and um Jeff his brother stood up and started clapping so the whole service
00:00:49
stood and started clapping cuz this man was a genius and I still remember exactly where I was when Dave rung me
00:00:56
and said he's gone [Music]
