he was like my un-official big brother when I first got to Honk-ington!

remember panicking one morning at Barnham camp beofre work, realising I had locked my car keys in my Y reg ford fiesta, and Paddy Bratten saying "relax, no problem" - - broke into my car to retrieve them within 20 seconds, not a mark on the car - - then confessed to me that as a youth in NI his hobby was car jacking and TWOKing!!!!

legend.....!
