Yep - you're still compus mentis, Wivel. He was known as 'Snip' Cornish - don't know why Snip.

I didn't remember Reg Jenkins not being liked by some fans - I thought he was a great player and was sorry to see him leave. Another player during that golden period was Brian Handley. I think that he more or less lost his place when Stubbsy arrived on the scene. I don't think he played many games with Robin Stubbs in the side, but I remember one game when Stubbs, Handley, Jenkins AND Tommy Northcott were in the team, and maybe Peter Anderson on the wing, and we were untouchable. :bow:

Wasn't he called Snip Cornish?

Well tomo reckons he was and is rarely wrong!

I remember him well and his 'Snow in Newton Abbot' shouts even on hot August early season games! Barking!
