    Ian was a member of the Knottingley Town junior
    cricket team in the I970s when I was the secretary.
    We are all proud of him, how can I obtain his
    E-Mail number.
    I will be very grateful if you could help.

    Ian is a great mate and currently living in Australia. No longer playing cricket or rugby league but a star for the AValon over 45's soccer team, 2011 champions. Birkers scored the defining goal in a 3-2 victory in extra time. The legend lives on. Photos can be supplied if required.
