Shanks, Don Hi Don, not sure you remember me, my dad was John good friend and best man at your Dad Alex wedding to Molly. I remember visiting your Dad shortly before he passed away, he would tell me many funny stories about the things they both got up too. Miss them both.

Shanks, Don I lived in the White City estate in Hammersmith. Dons family lived in a flat on the floor above.
When all the kids in the block played football we would not let him play because he was too young.
Pleased he has done so well.
