00:01Tony, lovely to see you and speak to you. We spoke about Laurie and Cyril, but when it comes to Laurie, and you told me, just a lightning winger, speed, your recollections of playing alongside him?
00:13Oh, well, when he first came, he was just, he took everybody by storm. You know, it's just, his pace he had, and the ability on the ball, and the trickery, you know, we just thought, well, I mean, we've got a player here, and, you know, he just joined in with the rest of the lads so quickly,
00:37and we got to know his style, and he got to know us, and, you know, he was a great success here at this club.
00:44He became an immediate fan's favourite, did he?
00:46Oh, without a doubt, you know, when you've got that ability that he had, you know, he could take people on, and that pace, you know, pace is the biggest thing, it's a great asset in the game, and he had it in abundance, and I think he just took the fans by storm, really, and, you know,
01:04and he got on well with the players in the dressing room, and he just became one of the lads.
