He was indeed a fine actor, he played the teacher Mr. Farthing in the brilliant Ken Loach film 'Kes'.

Coincidence Corner :  A horse named The Sweeney runs at Ludlow this afternoon in the 3-45.

Currently trading on here at around 9/2 second favourite.

Alas I cannot for the life of me find a creature called "Knife-Wielding Freak Welland" declared as a runner at any of today's fixtures.

Loved Colin Welland who I first spotted in Z Cars, with the wonderful Brian Blessed, who is one of my favourite people for a variety of reasons.
