Underrated inside forward of the 50s and 60s who refused to play on Xmas Day , Good Friday or Easter Monday as he was a lay
preacher with the Methodist Church. I presume if games had been played on Sundays during his time he wouldn't have played in
those either.
Times were different then of course , Sunday was a more distinctive day , few shops open , no supermarkets , many more people
going to church. As an OA it was the one day I didn't have to drag myself to school but I did go ( firmly encouraged by my mother)
to Sunday School until I was 14.
The Durie situation was a thing of its time , quite remarkable really. Anyone know of any others?
