the last race at York will bring back memories, Alf was the guy who bailed the Boro out when the liquidators put the padlocks on at Ayrsome park, he was also a massive gambler and a regular in the shop, i recall him him having a bet 500k/20k on his horse Tackroy in the national more than anything he was an absolute gentleman
