Yes that is very sad news about the Big Fella there :cry: Every time I bowled on Tuesday mornings he would be the first bloke to walk up and shake my hand and say g'day Tiges (or Spiky as he sometimes called me).
He was my last opponent I ever played against in Disco League and was a very, very hard player to beat - I certainly knew how hard he was to beat.
Also a team-mate of my Great Aunty and Great Uncle (Col & Molly Jacobs) in Disco League for many years right up until the end.
Farewell to a Damn Good Bloke
Martinus Johannes (Tim) Thoen 1929-2003 Rest in Peace :cry:
