Hands up those who instantly recognised this face from yesterday's P & J?:
It must have been well over 20 years ago when a slightly younger looking Lindsay Masson arrived at Banchory Squash Club one midweek night, in tow with a very young Gary Coutts, who, as most know, went on to become our Club Champion God knows how many times.
The two of them worked on the Queen's Estate at Balmoral and had been playing a bit of squash at Craigendarroch, but had heard about Banchory Squash Club, which, at the time, was thriving (relatively speaking), and they wanted to try their hand and improve their games.
Of course, they were easy meat at first, but it didn't take Gary long to outstrip those of us who were there then. Lindsay played for a while but he wasn't as talented as Gary and soon drifted away.
Also about that time, we had Anthea Moore come from the Balmoral Estate and she played in our 3rd time for a few years.
Aah - memories.
