Billy Dane & His Gran, Jimmy Dawson And Reg Wood
Groundwood School-football in the winter and cricket in the summer-by some amazing chance (!) he found a pair of Dead Shot Keen's old Cricket boots as well...
Groundwood usually won the Schools Cup-Billy would be a bit s**t in the first half and they'd go 3-0 down, Mr Harris the PE Teacher would be set to take him off only for "...the old boots seem to be taking me over here..." -right where the ball ended up after an unexpected deflection, bang, 3-1, 3 more goals and Billy the hero.
He lost them countless times though, either that or his Gran threw them out. They were once completely destroyed, but, astonishingly (yae!), someone found him another pair and all was well...
