  • Sandy Tribute
    FOREWORD As I write this foreword in humble tribute to my very great friend, Sandy, it is nearly midsummer 2010 and almost a year has passed since, all of a sudden, he was called away from us during a cricket match at Ditchling. How fitting it is that Desmond Devitt, a fine Martlet colleague, should be the inspiration behind this booklet. It gives Sandy’s friends the chance to capture the essence of his life and remind us of the fullness of his spirit which grabbed so many of us in different ways. Sandy would probably not believe me if I told him he was one of my sporting heroes. But he was, he really was. You see, I envied his great love of cricket and football and rugby. I envied him for never having been a professional, which left enthusiasm and joy still intact. He loved these games, and especially cricket which he played with great skill too. Sandy never wanted it to rain. Every day he looked forward to playing. It was a serious affair with lunch and tea always important too. But most important to Sandy were the people he was playing with and against. They really made his day and the game worth playing. If you knew Sandy well, none of this will come as a surprise, for he was a giver at heart as opposed to a taker. He was generous and wanted everyone to enjoy each day as much as him. He wasn’t one to grab the first place in the queue nor the best seat in the house.
