Times today reports the death of Air Vice Marshall George Lamb |
|
aka 'Larry' at the age of 99. Larry was a top rugby union |
|
referee in the 1960s and refereed 18 internationals between 1966 |
|
and 1971, half of them involving France as he could speak |
|
French! During a Wales v South Africa match, he instructed both |
|
teams to change their shirts as the mud made it impossible for |
|
him to determine who was playing for who! I recall Larry from my |
|
schooldays at a rugby-playing grammar school. RIP. |
