If Mike Jarvis was the only One armed Ball Boy, I must have been the only one legged Ball Boy!! But to be honest, I did have my own leg when I went to Wimbledon in 1957 & 58 but did at that time wear leg Irons. During my time, The Rev David Applyard was in charge of the Ball boys and he felt that those of us who had a disability should not miss out on the oportunity to attend Wimbledon. Having said that, I guess I was a licker as I used to Baby sit for the Rev Appleyard and also sang in the choir.
Wimbledon was a special event but my lasting memories are those sweaty and stale jam sandwiches as we used to arrive back at Goldings after supper.

That's a great newspaper article about the wannabe ballboy. You should encourage the reporter to send it forward to one of the daily tabloids. It's still newsworthy during this fortnight - she gets a big fee and Goldings gets more publicity. Or how about a where is Bernard Nixon hunt.

Dear Mr and Mrs Ram from up north, you must have been a licker to harvest the spuds in september. Me and the stallion was sent up in june and told not to come back until they were fully grown! we knew no better besides if you was not in the choir, Mr Nixon was quite a hard taskmaster!... was you in the choir!... me thinks so!

I don't remember picking spuds in june during my time at golding they must have been very early ones,it was always september/october.
by the way the farmers name was George Little and he had a farm hand by the name of Moses.

the reasons why you dont go to wimbledon!!
if you go scrumping, going out of bounds, going on birds island, climbing the roofs, pinching embos prize winning apples what he should have shown at the chelsea flower show, also when i met girls in hertford i would ask what milk milk lemonade meant, stealing push bikes in hertford, free train rides from hertford north to kingscross, shop lifting, and doing bunks, the list is endless thats the reason i wasn't a ball boy
