| Chris Webb - Hansons '58 to '65 |
Do you remember a tree just to the right and slightly behind the pavilion when looking from the cricket square? It had a high branch over which Chris Webb, I and a couple of others used to go sometimes to try to lob an 8lb shot over the branch. Chris managed it with ease but I never got more than 60% of the way up. He was not big in the first year but by the 4th form or so he was over 6ft and very strong. He was also a tremendous rugger player and an extremely nice bloke who never used his strength in a bad way. He should have won the All-England shot-put championship with a 53ft putt, but that throw was disallowed ....
And he was bright! I am thinking of starting a "WHS Roll of Honour" list, and he would definitely be on it .....
