Robin Smith

So.

My, my favorite, I think I've talked about my favorite player when I was a kid, Robin Smith.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, the Judge?

Yeah, the Judge.

So Robin Smith and Merv Hughes.

Merv Hughes, I think he played, and Robin Smith played a misses, and Merv Hughes says, "You can't fucking bat." Next ball, Robin Smith hits into the boundary and said, "Oh, look at us, we make a fine pair.

I can't fucking bat, and you can't fucking bowl."

Paul says, you know that I've been cheering, I've been challenging you, I went to a cricket dinner when I was playing for a club.

And Robin Smith, who not many of you would have heard of, but Robin Smith sadly died in the last year or two, played for my county, Hampshire, and it was great that he was speaking.

And brilliant, brilliant cricketer for England.

And he said, I wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for Dad.

And Robin Smith is a youngster.

He loved rugby.

And so every morning before school, Dad would help him practice his fly off.

And, and we're looking at the telly, and we're looking at the telly, complete silence, sort of like a few jaws have hit the floor like that.

And then Robin Smith has come, bless him, God bless him, the judge, has come sort of like creeping up to me and said, "Tuffers, what have you been doing for the last two years?"
