I bought a pair of youngsters from him back in the early 80's after seeing his stock at Blackpool, 1 hen won herself and the other bred a handfull of winners upto and including 504m.
I went to his auction a couple of years ago at Blackpool and the birds wern't a patch on the birds he had 25 years ago, they were clearly very inbred, small etc and certainly wern't what I wanted to reintroduce.
