Mick then enticed Batson into the same patch and then in the early 80's Peter Eastoe moved into the area as well.

Most players then were approachable,regular blokes.

The last one to live locally was Jason Koumas but he was totally different.....an absolute a r s e hole of a bloke.

Spent his afternoons and evening getting pissed at the Wychbury pub a 100 yards from his house at the top of Hagley and the rest of the time in local bookies.

Not a nice person according to locals who encountered him.
Mick Martin...a nice bloke...but I guess just a different era.....I like change but not all change is always good.....
