Les Bolton
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Was sad to see his health deteriorate in recent years. I often wondered how the head knocks as a player contributed.
