All the best Disco

Once you've had a bypass you're usually good to go, albeit some permanent damage from the heart attack.

I suspect he'll be fine, which is great.

Good luck Disco
Reckon the most underrated Tiger
Was a superstar

All the best wishes in recovery, Disco  .


Whenever I think of Roach, I think of the old duffle coats with "8" on the back that everyone use to wear in the 70s-early 80s. One of things I regret I didn't keep mine .
