Pay more attention David

Alec Coxon used to take us for net sessions at Ch le St on a Wednesday night in 1977.

Any other notable lads who went on to play at club and higher level I'm thinking Paul Beaney ,Tony Armstrong,David Sweeney etc

Ive been trying to do this but there are too many to mention. So just a few beginning from he FC era -

Dean Jones
Wayne Larkins
Ian Botham
Simon Jones
Steve Harmison
Paul Collingwood
DiVa
Ottis Gibson
Shoaib Akhtar
Rushy
Ben Stokes
Mark Wood
Banks

They are off the top of my head but there'll be loads ive missed out.

Who's wearing the gloves mate Konstantopulus or Playfor

I was only 13 at the time and David Sweeney was playing for the First XI by then in a team something like - KR Flynn, R Harrison, Wasim Raja, NC Allison, W Routledge, DL Greener, JD Reach, R Forster, S Elstob, DA Nevins, and D Sweeney.

Faced Beaney in the nets and he took sympathy on me and reverted to spin which I foolishly hit straight back over his head. Bad mistake ! ....I never saw the next delivery.

Bob Garrod around at that time?

Was DLG's garden in jeopardy

Maybe a surprise choice since I've criticised him a lot in the last couple of years (for his bowling), but Scott Borthwick is a favourite and big shame that he got the yips or something.

He seemed to play his best when Durham were chasing a total to win. The calmness, the pacing and tempo and the controlled shots. But a particular memory is not in a chase but him playing alongside Collingwood in the first innings of the match against Northants when they each scored a century.

Doesn't ring a bell for then.

Would Stephen Peel and Ian Bailey be at the same coaching sessions

Ian Bailey definitely was.
