You get the impression that poor Tossy is the type who could pass away and nobody would notice, his body decomposing for weeks on end in whatever hovel in whatever far flung suburb of Bradford he resides in.
Iād love to think the name referred to this incident:
Wearing just socks and trainers he set off running across the playing area. āI can remember seeing the players Alan Knott and David Steele on the pitch - thatās it. I didnāt have any plan, just to keep running. When I reached the wicket I jumped over it but that hadnāt been my intention. I didnāt know how far I would get.ā
