Re: PSA Testing Saturday 23rd. Help please.

Just had an email thanking me for attending. They tested over 500 men last Saturday and 13% had a raised PSA Level that requires further investigation.

Sad news, I still remember him as the likeable but tough centre half of the Forest pairing… there again McVitie would seem like a good guy playing alongside Kenny Burns.

Managed Notts County to a promotion too didn’t he?
