I had a wee dig into, I do remember the move to Coventry and then the collapse of the football team and them being homeless. At least now they have got promoted into the Premier League which is pretty cool.
The Wasps owner was Derek Richardson who was Irish and the owner of an insurance company. As we are talking rugby and Richardson it is interesting as when I was playing at school in Edinburgh. my number 8 was Jeremy Richardson who was a Scottish internationalist.
Bill Beaumont was a true gent, he used to one of the captains on a Question of Sport. Great player and a great team around that era!
