Started watching Glamorgan about that time , bus to Swansea Bus Station , the old one , then the walk to St. Helens .

As a 10 year old about this time , missed this then historic event , Wilf Wooler commentating on grainy black and white tele .

All sport has now evolved and become a cash cow and business , money is now the main talking point , wages scandolous .

Luckily memories of Sir Clive Lloyd playing for Lancashire , taking the time to sit down and chat with the die hards sitting on the wooden bench and concrete steps in the Members Enclosure .

Loved that ground for cricket , never set foot in Cardiff/Glamorgan Cricket grounds since .
