Freddie Trueman is in the money

[Lillian Thomson]

Dear old Fred might occasionally come across as a sad insane old fool living in the past, but he looks set for a nice windfall in his twilight years.

Sorry to anyone under 40 and not living in the Uk, but nostalgia buffs will love this.

I vaguely recall The Indoor League from Baddiel & Skinner's fantasy football programme. I remember Fred used to start every show with a jolly (or as close as FST got to "jolly") "Ey op".

I also recall Sid Waddell crediting it with making darts a major tv sport. Prior to The Indoor League it was very much a pub only affair.

Keith Deller is like Long John Silver - badly needs another leg.

That was like throwing three pickled onions into a thimble.

It's the nearest thing to a public execution outside Saudi Arabia.

If Taylor had been at Hastings, the Normans would have gone home.

Just look upon it as another 'old persons thread'.

In fact, people, make that a general rule.

If I'm interested, you probably won't be.

There are those who would throw Parky into the mix too, and others who would say Dickie, but I'd go for three cricketers in one.

Old Bore Boycott.
