Very good umpire to boot,who always seemed to have the respect of the players. Loved watching his aversion to the Nelson!

Title: Re: David Shepherd Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, 16:36:34 Very sad indeed. Its always good to have characters in the game, but unlike Billy Bowden, Shep used to get most things right.
