Yesterday

I first met Bottles in the early 80s, when he joined WCOB RFC as a coach, and I had the great good fortune to be in his team. He knew his stuff and we had so much fun and it was a memorable team that I have never forgotten, and I will certainly never forget Bottles, one in a million and forever my favorite coach

Yesterday

Dearly loved son of Cath and Reg Roberts (both deceased). Dearly loved brother and brother-in-law of Reg (deceased), Lynette and Grahame Allport, Suzy and Wayne (deceased) Wilson, Gail and Tony Goddard, Julie Carter and Warwick, Michelle Lindsay and David. Loved uncle and great-uncle, and story-teller to all his many nieces and nephews.
