"When you think of East Yokshire, you think of rugby league" says Rob Staton iin his report on another 'local' young tennis player on Look North tonight,.

Presume he is the replacement for the recently- retired Simon Clarke.

Seems to be South Yorkshire whose favourite sport is NFL.

It's gonna be a long haul with yet another local journo who knows **** all about the region or its sporting history

 

Yeh, listened to that bizarre off the wall comment with no relevence to sport in E. Yorks. Certainly diluted the supposed message of successful grass roots tennis in the area.

 

Simon Clarke...weirdo. Interviewed me the day the Allams took over at the KC.

 

"When know-nowts think of East Yorkshire, they think of rugby league"

 

Outside of Hull there is far more interest in rugby union than rugby league.

 

Dint even mention Katie O'Brien.

 

Probably doesn't even know who Roger Taylor is, despite being a Yorkshire lad (of different Riding mind).

 

Busy lad that Roger, mind.

Drummed for Queen.

Drummed for Duran Duran.

Southpaw tennis champ anarl.


Impressive.

 

Norfolk lad.
Brummy lad.
Sheffield lad.
Got around a bit.
