Great memories, I was one of Andy’s pupils at Siddal Moor in those days so I was probably one of the “kids”,

I don’t specifically recall this game but I do recall Mr Garner vs our very own Ralph Farmer getting very angry every time he sent down a short-one, Ralph would just hook him down for 4 or 6

Andy was one of the few teachers who took an interest in cricket along with Phil Sutcliffe, at school level, there were a few of us in the same year that he encouraged and helped, myself, Jim Lees, Geoff Farrar, Dave Platt and Gary Wright to name a few, all of who had some association with the club.

Didn’t play in the same team as Andy as often as I would have liked, (Our first and second team outings were never totally in sync 1978 – 82 ) as he made the experience all the better. A very funny man, and always particularly encouraging to other young players of the time ( always the teacher ). He used to love bamboozelling batsmen who faced his late outswingers in the nets – often asking if he should “put a bell in it”
A wonderfully dry sense of humour, Andy always played the game with a smile and he made it fun for everyone else. Top man
