Stuart Evans was tosh, but in the same breath, was nobody's fool if a certain story is to be believed, regarding himself and Gary Stretch (a boxer from At Helens in the late 80's/early 90's) in a local chippy.

I heard a similar story but with Tony Burke.

I'm sure it was Kevin Ward who had an altercation with Gary Stretch.

They're all lame under the cap in Sintellins, so I'm not surprised that the story has so many variants.

By the end of the week, it may well be that unfunny twunt Johnny Vegas, or his funnier sidekick, Monkehhh.

There have been many RU forwards converted to RL.
It the most successful position as I see it.

The chippy incident was between Stretch and Paul Forber's brother

I think this chippy incident is being stretched too much
