Hodgkinson’s mission has been to replace individualism and eccentricity with discipline and dedication especially

Hodgkinson’s mission has been to replace individualism and eccentricity with discipline and dedication, especially now, in the age of the back-pass rule, that they are “a full part of the team”. His hands reveal an absence of the bent or bulbous fingers which are traits of those who rely on punching rather than catching and daring rather than technique.His father, who came from a mining family, hoped those fingers would see a different use, sending him for piano lessons as a boy “I did it religiously and took exams But suddenly football took hold of me. I remember walking past the local rec with money for my lesson, thinking: ‘I’d rather play with the guys’. My dad wasn’t happy but he did let me stop the piano.”Sheffield United took him on at 16. Soon he travelled with the club’s other young hopefuls to see Hungary trounce England 6-3 at Wembley “That was the birth of modern football. It was all about fitness, flexibility and, above all, technique – the goalie [Gyula Grosics] included.”There were no goalkeeping coaches then “We were self-taught. Being a small-stature goalie, 5ft 10in, I’d already worked out I needed super agility and did gymnastics at school.

I learnt a lot about angles and diving by cutting action pictures from the papers and studying them And at a game, I’d focus on the goalie. I played truant to go to Bramall Lane to watch Bert Williams, the Wolves and England goalie.”At 18, Hodgkinson made a winning debut at Newcastle, Jackie Milburn et al. When he was 20, he was met off the bus at Port Vale by a reporter. “He asked how I felt about being picked to play for England against Scotland I knew nothing about it. We celebrated by winning 6-0.”He can picture Stan Matthews taking his vitamin pills out of a black bag the day before the game. At Wembley, a pass intended for the great man was intercepted and Hodgkinson’s first touch was to fish the ball from the net. “I thought, ‘Oh my goodness’ but couldn’t let it get me down.

We won 2-1 and Stan set up Duncan Edwards for a 25-yard winner Duncan was a lovely guy and a fabulous player. I had a lump in my throat when I watched the recent TV dramatisation of the Munich disaster.”Hodgkinson went to the 1962 World Cup, in Chile, as back-up to Sheffield Wednesday’s Ron Springett. Throughout this time, and to the end of his playing days, he stayed with Sheffield United. “I felt a loyalty to them because they gave me the chance to fulfil my dream and I’m really hoping Neil Warnock can take them up.”But when I was a young player we were on just £12 a week in winter and £8 in summer.

I was one of the leaders in the Professional Footballers’ Association’s move to end the maximum wage Our action improved the footballer’s lot. Over the years I’ve worked with people who have made fortunes out of the game Millionaires.”But I don’t look back in anger, or envy I’m just glad I played when I did There was a camaraderie It was a sport. After training we sat in the tea shop and talked about the game Now they shoot off in Porsches Jimmy Greaves reckons it’s a funny old game. That’s a myth: it’s an industry, like car-making or coal mining, where people get made redundant, get sacked.”Having finally hung up his gloves in 1971, Hodgkinson endured just such a downside after six years as assistant manager of Gillingham. He had been previously been invited to train keepers on Football Association courses.

With a family to feed and bills to pay, he wrote to every senior club offering his services as a goalkeeping coach. He was inundated – “there wasn’t enough time to satisfy the demand” – and had to move to the Midlands to get to his clients without spending half a day driving.He worked for “anybody and everybody”. Regular employers included Everton, Rangers, Aston Villa, Watford (“from Fourth Division to First”) and Manchester United, where Alex Ferguson asked him to assess a player in Denmark “In my report I said, ‘He will win you the championship’. Peter Schmeichel wasn’t the finished article – very impetuous at first – but he took on board everything I suggested He was at Bury on Tuesday when I was there with Oxford His son, Kasper, is on loan to them. Peter gave me a hug and we had a laugh.”While Hodgkinson was helping Dave Sexton with England’s Under-21s, both squad keepers withdrew. He nominated a player Birmingham City had sent him to scout at Peterborough.”We were in Dave’s room and he rang Bobby Robson [then England manager]. Bobby was saying, – I’m not having Third Division players in the England set-up’ Dave said I’d recommended him and finally convinced him Although he was extremely laid-back, he was excellent Birmingham soon bought him.

Hopefully, hopefully, after some time, and within the parameters that we’ve set down, I’ll be able to put something in that’s mine. ‘We have been through a year of primary education in the market economy,’ he said ‘There have been disappointments as well as victories.

Caution was implicit in their strategy.At this point I think it appropriate to recall a conversation on the eve of the final with a young man, Gus Martin, who reports on the game for a Boston newspaper and is an enthusiastic player. There have been suggestions that the need to summon the exiled Briton to ride back on to centre stage aboard his white charger, to slay the dragon of mediocrity, is an indication of the sport’s inherent insecurity at a time of tragedy and controversial change, that instead of being reliant on old stars it should start creating a new generation without delay.’Make new stars by all means,’ Stewart concurs, ‘but where are they?’ He has been instrumental in the development of David Coulthard, who was fifth fastest yesterday, but he summarised the practical considerations that face Williams.

Appointed on the ticket of having the political leverage to bend the ear of those with clout in Westminster, the failure to secure a cut in betting duty in the Budget was viewed by many, perhaps unfairly, as a personal failure on Lord Wakeham’s part.
Loudest in their criticism were those who would have regarded Wakeham as a natural ally when he was a full-time politician, businessmen who have succeeded in their own little empires and cannot resist wondering out loud why every one else cannot do the same. Peter Savill, Celtic Swing’s owner and now a newspaper pundit too, is one of Wakeham’s chief detractors and he was buttressed last week when Bosra Sham’s owner, Wafic Said, used the platform of the annual Gimcrack speech to call for a “dramatic reformation” of the BHB board.Tomorrow brings the first opportunity since the Budget for everyone to have their say on what they think went wrong, the annual forum of the BHB’s Industry Committee. This is one of the most dangerous events in the racing calendar as it brings together in one room representatives from each section of the sport, each determined to put over the self-interested views of their constituents.At last year’s forum the pack thought they had cornered the Committee’s chairman, Matthew McCloy, who had the month before, on the way to the Breeders’ Cup, suffered some embarrassment involving alcohol, handcuffs and the New York police. He sidestepped them, not neatly but certainly effectively, and the heat will be on others tomorrow.The point at which it is all likely to get rather dirty is when the question of the BHB’s financial strategy comes up. Not so much “What is it?” as “Where is it?”The board made the mistake of allowing itself to be browbeaten into saying that it would come up with a business plan and has not yet delivered. For some reason the self-important, self-made men are unimpressed by this situation, usually beginning their criticism with the sentiment “If I ran my business. .”Everyone at the forum will have their own notion of how racing should be run and Heath Robinson would be proud of the number of wacky ideas that are aired.It is in that context that it is possible to say that Thursday’s meeting of the National Association of Bookmakers should produce progress of a more substantial nature for punters and racegoers -the NAB are usually worthy of an award from the Institute of Modern Dance for foot-dragging.The main topic is how to dispel that between-the-wars atmosphere from the racecourse betting ring.

On the agenda will be allowing bookies to set up pitches in areas of the racecourse other than the Tattersalls and Silver Ring enclosures.This raises the possibility of them becoming established in areas such as restaurants, bars and hospitality suites, in the members’ enclosure and around the paddock. These areas have been the sole preserve of the Tote, an organisation that has perhaps not been given the credit it deserves for the way it has developed its racecourse facilities.Customer care is another unlikely subject that has, at last, entered the on-course bookie’s domain. A code of conduct for courtesy, information kiosks teaching newcomers how to bet, Satellite Information Services pictures available in the betting ring and the use of new technology to record bets and to issue detailed receipts are other improvements that could be on the way.Better still, an agreed level of service after the last race, including late-payment facilities, could be put in place so that the race of the day will never again be the one in which you have to catch your bookie before he reaches his car.. Another nail in the coffin. South Africa, quite brilliant for an hour, brought their marathon season to a triumphant conclusion in Cardiff yesterday, and at this rate British rugby will be so far under the ground by the time of the next World Cup that it will take a team of rehabilitated Welsh miners to locate it.

There has been so much talk of southern hemisphere superiority this year that the 45,000 supporters who made the pilgrimage to the Arms Park expected nothing other than a convincing Springbok victory.
No matter that the tourists were on their knees after a brutally hard campaign that had started way back in January; no matter that Gary Teichmann, their captain, was so concerned at the degree of tiredness among his squad that he called only two brief training sessions in the week leading into the game The Boks would win at a canter. Everyone knew it.Predictably, the world was not turned on its head. Joost van der Westhuizen, gliding like a thoroughbred across the wide open spaces, scored three tries from scrum-half and looked as though he had just returned, full of vigour, from a month’s rest and recuperation on the golden sands of Durban. Wales could barely lay a hand on him, and on the odd occasion that the sleek predator from Northern Transvaal was brought to earth, he was able to offload the ball to some other accomplished high-wire act – Andre Joubert or James Small or the marvellous Ruben Kruger.It was not that Wales played badly. There was far more about them yesterday than against Australia a fortnight ago: their back-row stood up to be counted for once and with the two reinstated refugees from rugby league, Scott Gibbs and Allan Bateman, making encouraging headway in midfield, there were things happening out wide, too. But the stark fact remains that the Boks were home and dry well before the interval.Van der Westhuizen was responsible for most of the early damage, showing brute strength to muscle his way over from a close-range scrum to give his side the lead on 11 minutes and then displaying his more refined talents by drawing the positionally challenged Neil Jenkins into a web of confusion before weaving his way across the line shortly before half-time.

Graham Kelly and David Davies, the two most powerful men in the FA (they are chief executive and director of public affairs respectively), are in the pro-Venables camp. Behind yesterday’s enticing Euro 96 draw another matter has been occupying some delegates to the weekend formalities – the future of Terry Venables. With Football Association officials, committee men and media among those being wined and dined in Birmingham on Saturday, there was much scope for snatched conversations, whisper and rumour. It followed a week when the national coach’s contract and conduct has again been under scrutiny.
On Thursday, a judge said Venables had been “wanton” (or “wanting”, depending on interpretation) with his evidence in a court case. The following day Noel White, the chairman of the international committee, admitted to being concerned about the various allegations made against Venables.”Clearly there are matters we must consider when we come to discuss the contract,” he said.

These comments, which referred to negotiations about Venables’ next contract – the current one expires in June – were made before the judge’s accusation.The following day, Sir Bert Millichip, chairman of the FA, reiterated his desire for Venables to be given a new contract before the finals begin in June.There is a wide range of views within the FA.

Staged in Leeds and Newcastle, it raises the prospect of David Ginola playing at St James’ Park and Eric Cantona returning to Elland Road. First they have to win back their places in the team.Aime Jaquet, the French manager, said: “We have been playing for more than a year without these players and have qualified and have played well. We now have a new challenge and I have four months to think about whether [Cantona and Ginola] will be involved.”England and Scotland, if they qualify from their group, would meet a team from this group in the quarter-finals Germany or Italy would probably await in the semi-final There is, however, a long way to go before then.

Germany and Italy, who have three European Championships and six World Cups between them, meet at Old Trafford on 19 June. It is the final Group C game and if either Russia or the Czech Republic have taken points off them, it could be an eliminator.Group B, with Spain, Romania, Bulgaria and France is almost as strong. The Football Association will discuss with Uefa, the Scottish FA and the police how best to increase that. The touts will be chasing every ticket they can lay their hands on.While the Anglo-Scottish meeting caught the spotlight, the draw threw up another heavyweight meeting of a different nature. That may be the problem psychologically.”Glen Kirton, the tournament director, said: “It is time we started playing the fixture again.

Every match presents a security challenge, the challenge for this one is arriving at a fair distribution of tickets.”At present, Scotland are allocated a plainly inadequate 7,000 tickets. The Swiss will be very well organised and very well prepared. Although we beat them recently, we will not underestimate them.”Brown sounded a cautious note: “Our supporters, our media and maybe our players might think playing England is the European Championship final itself and forget there are two other games We must peak three times, not just once against England. People say they are weak at the back, but they do not give many goals away. If he can keep his cool in this match, he should be able to do so anywhere. It is a big if.Venables, who said his preparation had suffered “a big blow” when Graeme Le Saux broke his leg at the weekend (he may be out of the tournament), will now plan his warm-up opponents.”We will have to contend with an interesting range of styles The Dutch are very sophisticated I am a big fan of their game.

London E17. If we count from one to 10, the number of numbers is, well, 10! The next set of 10 begins with 11; the same logic applies when you count in hundreds and thousands The Christian calendar goes from 1BC to 1AD There is no year zero None of us can lay claim to living in our 0th year. Even so, the year 2000 is not the beginning of the new millennium. If Dionysius had got his sums right, we should have celebrated the new millennium in what we still call 1996 or 1997.
But, let us allow, for the sake of argument, that this is indeed the 1,999th year since the birth of Christ. Sir: I’ve had enough! I just cannot stand it any more! My time as a member of the silent minority is over.

The world needs to know! Next year is not the beginning of the new millennium. Dionysius Exiguus was an abbot who lived from 500 to 560 AD – anno domini, meaning, “In the year of our Lord.” Dionysius invented the BC/AD system of dating He missed out three or four years. that paternity is difficult to prove”.Neither of these approaches stands up to scrutiny in 1999 and the provision seems clearly at odds with the right to respect for “private and family life” and the protection from “discrimination on any grounds such as sex” enshrined on the European Convention on Human Rights.This affects not only couples in the unique situation of Messrs Drewitt and Barlow but the children of all unmarried British fathers who wish their children to benefit from their paternal ancestry for nationality reasons.In this case, the Secretary of State may well choose the “soft option” and decide to exercise his discretion and “register” the twins as British nationals because of their links with the United Kingdom, a different process of acquiring British nationality as a matter of “gift” rather than “right.” The prominence given to the issues raised in this case, however, hopefully will lead to serious consideration of the rights of unmarried partners to pass on their nationality by descent.WESLEY GRYKSolicitorLondon WC2. Sir: The potential problems faced by the gay parents Barrie Drewitt and Tony Barlow arise from a socially and scientifically outmoded section of the British Nationality Act 1981 (“Gay parents fight to win UK citizenship for twins”, 13 December). While the Act states that “a person born outside the United Kingdom … shall be a British citizen if at the time of the birth his father or mother … is a British citizen,” the Act goes on to define “mother” and “father” as including the mother of an illegitimate child but not the father.
This approach derives from the approach taken in a parallel context by Lord Denning in the 1955 Court of Appeal decision of In re M (an infant), where Lord Denning explained: “The reason is that the law of England has from time immemorial looked upon a bastard as the child of nobody, that is to say, as the child of no known body except its mother.”Sir Roger Ormrod in the 1982 decision of R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex p Crew recognised that, sociologically, times had moved on and there was “a strong movement to eliminate so far as possible the difference between illegitimate children and legitimate children.” He, instead, put forward a “scientific” explanation, citing “the inescapable fact …

The new compensation scheme will cost £12bn over the next 50 years, £4bn more than originally planned. There was good news for around 5 million people this week when the Government scrapped its proposed compensation scheme for victims of a multi-billion pound pensions blunder in favour of a more generous package. The new compensation scheme will cost £12bn over the next 50 years, £4bn more than originally planned.
What was the blunder?The last Conservative Government failed to publicise changes to the State Earnings Related Pension Scheme (Serps) made in 1986 which halved the amount of Serps that widows or widowers could inherit on the death of their spouse.What is Serps?Serps was set up in 1978 to provide a state second pension for those without occupational or personal pension schemes Around 20 million people pay into Serps. The Conservative Government set the changes to start in 2000, so people could make alternative provision for their spouses. However, the Government failed to publicise the change for a full 14 years, raising the prospect of millions of people claiming they had not been given time to make new arrangements.How would the old compensation scheme have worked?In March, Alistair Darling, the Social Security Secretary, announced a “protected rights” compensation scheme in two parts. People who could show they had been misled by the Government could claim a permanent exemption from the changes. For those still facing the cut in pension, the changes would not occur until October 2002.

Critics said this would be an invitation to fraud, and that it would be impossible for most people affected to prove they had been misled. The sheer size of the problem also made the scheme a logistical nightmare, according to these critics. This week Mr Darling came up with a new, three-part scheme.How will the new scheme work?First, under the new scheme everyone over state pension age (65 for men, 60 for women) on 5 October 2002 will be exempt from the proposal to halve the Serps entitlement available to bereaved spouses. They will be able to pass on 100 per cent of their Serps entitlement, as now. This will benefit about 3 million people.Second, the new rules will only apply to men and women who are now 10 years or more away from state pension age. For these people, the changes will be phased in.Contributors to Serps reaching pensionable age between 2002 and 2004 will be able to pass on 90 per cent of their pension. Anyone claiming their pension between 2004 and 2006 can pass on 80 per cent, between 2006 and 2008, 70 per cent, and between 2010 and 2012, 60 per cent.This second measure should help a further 2 million people.

The 50 per cent cut will only apply to people retiring on 6 October 2010 or later.Third, if you can produce documentary evidence that you were misled by the Government over Serps, you will still be able to claim 100 per cent of your inherited pension, however old you are. The DSS will write this week to all those who have contacted the Department already to explain the scheme.The Government’s viewMr Darling commented on the new scheme, saying: “Millions of people were given wrong, misleading or incomplete information about changes to Serps introduced by the last Government in 1986.”This problem should have been sorted out 14 years ago. What happened in the years after 1986 was a series of colossal blunders which were inexcusable and caused untold distress to millions of people. In March, I announced that we have already deferred the change in the inheritance rule by 2 years until October 2002. No one will be affected by the policy change before that date.”Age ConcernGordon Lishman, director-general of Age Concern England, said: “Alistair Darling’s announcement is a victory for Age Concern’s two-year campaign. It will come as a huge relief to pensioners who have been living under the cloud of the widows’ Serps changes.

These people can now enjoy retirement knowing their spouse will be properly provided for if they die before them.”Clearly the Secretary of State has listened to our issues about the existing redress scheme and has made considerable concessions. We hope the Government will learn from this experience and ensure that in future contributors to public pension schemes receive prompt and accurate information about changes. We look forward to talking to the Government about this so that people will never have to live with this kind of worry again.”Age Concern was the first organisation to identify this issue in autumn 1998 and we are delighted our campaign has been successful.”For more information:Department of Social Security public enquiries: 020 7712 2171, internet address: www.dss.gov.uk. Two 13-year-old boys and a 39-year-old woman were arrested in south London yesterday in connection with the murder of Damilola Taylor.

Last night they were still being interviewed by detectives in separate police stations in London. Two 13-year-old boys and a 39-year-old woman were arrested in south London yesterday in connection with the murder of Damilola Taylor. Last night they were still being interviewed by detectives in separate police stations in London.
In Peckham, where 10-year-old Damilola was found bleeding to death yards from his front door last Monday, police patrolled the streets and appealed for fresh witnesses to the killing to come forward.As they did so, Richard Taylor, the dead boy’s father, and other members of the family made an emotional visit to the stairwell where his son died. A weeping Mr Taylor, who flew into Britain on Friday, cried out “Oh my God, oh my God, my beautiful, beautiful boy” before leaving flowers at the scene.The 10-year-old died from a severed artery in his leg after he was attacked with a bottle or a knife on the North Peckham estate in south-east London. Earlier on Saturday, police renewed their appeal for witnesses to the crime and showed a silver puffa jacket identical to the one worn by Damilola on the evening he was stabbed. Detectives have now spoken to a boy and a girl who were filmed with Damilola on CCTV going into a library for an after-school computer class. The two children, who are not suspects, were asked what their friend was saying in the hour before his death.Police are exploring the possibility that Damilola was followed from the library by his attackers.

Then make an insurance claim.”At $50 for a 14-hour day, it’s not surprising people turn to crime when a New York apartment costs at least $1,000 a month and head shots for a portfolio often cost more than $2,000 if they’re done professionally. “My husband and I must have made four of five big claims in the last six years when the parts were thin on the ground,” says the actress, who does not want to be named “It’s common among actors. When the going gets tough, sell your car or your furniture to somebody in the Bronx, then say it was stolen. Others take a more criminal line, supporting careers by unorthodox means. One actress who has just made it big after years of struggle says her secret was insurance fraud.

The nature of being an actor means turning yourself inside out and, unlike being a musician or a writer, your work is absolutely connected to what you look like.” Trinder subsists in the traditional way – waiting tables. She was at the Chekov auditions, hoping to land the role of Natasha or Olga She was one of the unlucky ones “It can be heartbreaking,” she says “It isn’t only the constant rejection. It did, however, draw agents and producers to see aspirants in good roles. It also drew more than 500 hopefuls for 14 parts.”I would never recommend being an actor,” says Liz Trinder, queueing outside Actors Equity.

Last week, there were auditions for Chekov’s Three Sisters at Manhattan’s Looking Glass Theatre. The play is an “Equity Showcase”, which, in true Alice in Wonderland style, means four weeks of hard work for no pay. Mandatory auditions have only been part of the Broadway scene since 1988 American Equity defends the system. “I know people get parts through the auditions but I’m not naive enough to think we are the only route the directors use,” says Tony Nicosia.The numbers are often overwhelming, as is the pressure. Francis Ford Coppola held an open call for On the Road earlier this year and 5,000 people showed up, while an audition for five dancing parts in Demi Moore’s Striptease drew a crowd of more than 250 women.

I say it’s their fault; they could hold auditions over several days, but they cram everybody into one and often you just see the CD and not the director.”Many casting directors feel they’ve been press-ganged into the Broadway audition system which only exists because the unions forced the producers’ hand. “So many of them are just mean,” says Richard Bradshaw who arrived at 4.40am to ensure an early audition, when the director is still fresh “If you get in late, the CD is often crabby and negative They just don’t want to see you – they’ve had enough. “Once you’ve been bitten by the acting bug, you’ll make every sacrifice to succeed.” Back in the queue, several hopefuls are spitting venom at their favourite target – the casting director. Looking out his window at the queue snaking round the block, he admires the persistence of New York actors, although he accepts their dedication is pathological. “Every time I walk past a theatre marquee, I know one day I could have my name up there. When I do get a part, it’s such a buzz; that’s the feeling which stays with you through the cold mornings.”Tony Nicosia agrees. That’s a good way of getting stage time and improving your CV.” Levin has no need of an acting career to eat, she says she has a “wonderful” job teaching literature at a local college “I can’t stop doing this,” she says.

I’ve played Maria in The Sound of Music, once in New Jersey and once in Lake Placid. The Actors Equity Association and the Screen Actors Guild estimate there are more than 20,000 union actors in the city without jobs. Their task is made more difficult by new rules which open many auditions to non-union actors who have logged enough hours on stage. This group swells the pool to around 25,000 hungry thespians.”To make it here, you have to get a plan,” say Susan Levin, standing about 30 minutes from the start of the queue “I don’t just concentrate on the big shows I audition in New York for regional shows as well. “All I had was $4, which is just what the photos cost.”Before Phifer got to see Spike Lee, a casting associate picked him out of the queue and the rest is the first chapter of a Hollywood biography that by this Christmas will include three movies and a TV special.

Natural wind draughts ventilate the offices and instead of long, impersonal corridors like something out of The Shining, there are swooshing, sinuous ones. Perhaps that’s why the offices within are all such green, pleasant, and light-filled spaces. So their concern that the inhabitants control their own environment – and change the way the building looks at the same time – is interesting. “Also, I like the way the facade randomly and seamlessly reflects what’s happening in the building.”The Sauerbruch Hutton installation plan for these panels is as artistic and rigorously controlled as a Sol Lewitt painting. “This makes the building dynamic rather than static,” Louisa says. Pushing a button to get the right light levels needed in the offices at any time of the day changes the colour combinations on the facade. These can be pivoted, or pulled back flat out of sight behind the glass facade, which effectively takes out a block of colour at a time.

This is a dynamic game that they are playing.The tower on its west side, which gets the sun, is coloured in a mosaic of reds by louvered mesh screens, grouped at the window bays in threes. Wind-tunnel testing in Bristol proves that the GSW cluster could withstand a “twister”. (Of course, it won’t.)Some of the columns are hung from the beams of the main structure to enable a clear 14.5m span where you enter the building on the ground floor. The implication is that without it weighing down that corner, the springboard would tip up under the weight of the tower.

Pontypridd simply had nothing to match him.Neath also had the reliable boot of outside-half Matthew Pearce to rely on and he knotched 18 points to make victory secure.Neath: Tries S Williams 3; Conversions Pearce 3; Penalties Pearce 4. He scored a hat-trick of tries, the first of which came from 60 metres. IT HAS not been a great time for Pontypridd since the WRU Premier Division went into its second phase, the home and away play-off section between the top four clubs. His three-round score of 195 is also the best on tour this year, beating David Duval’s 198 at the season-opening Mercedes Championship and Tiger Woods at the Buick Invitational.Scores, Digest, page 11. The Swede’s third-round score moved him to 21 under par, breaking the 54-hole tournament record set by Sandy Lyle in 1988 by four shots. But it went under the car at speed and there was just not enough evidence that it had been moved by an outside agency, so it had to be declared a lost ball.”What made it worse for Spence was that the cars should not have been there.
