I'm unsure as to who DO might be but think more on the lines of Metacarpophalangeal Joints for the character in question.
Dave Opacic ... it's 45-50 years ago now, who cares ? Just old war stories ... 8-)

I played in goal for NDC in the seventies and our centre half Barry Ridge was a bit of a handful. 👹

I don't know many there usually are but at the other end of the age range there are 6 leagues in the youngest category - under 7's. While until they find women/men or beer to distract them!

Respect to all the volunteers that run the leagues, I loved it as a kid.

Without whom there would never be any leagues.

Played in a few of Roys teams. Brilliant bloke and good to hear he’s still around.

His son Gary was a good player too
