The thing i remember taking from his books as a young lad was theres a right way and wrong way to go about things and to get the best out of dogs.Maybe young lads coming into the sport would be better of for reading a few..

Oh right with you now. Yea there plenty bunnies around there. Dunno of you noticed they seem a big bigger than the average rabbit. Had many a good run with the rigside lads up that way. Then there was the night they near killed a couple of keepers in the trucks top lol.

In there defense the keepers were asking for it. Announcing to the whole pub they were gonna shoot all dogs on the moor.

I've never met the man and I dont know if he did all the things he wrote about or he didn't do anything but the one thing is he wrote some fantastic books they are a great read wether you like him or not, I still don't understand how people are still slagging him off why can't he be left in peace.

[DIDO.1 22,798]

.... I think he would be disappointed to be left in peace I think he would be over the moon to know he could still cause an argument

Wow strong words how well did you know Plummer?

[robbo 828]

met him at a talk he did for the royal albert ratting club in barnsley. came and had a chat with us and seemed a decent bloke. his books are a good read even if he does embellish the stories[ who doesnt now and again] he did it as a favour to raise funds for the club. some lads who had paid to get in were slagging him off before he even got there. seemed a bit stupid to me to pay money just so you could slag him off. not one of them said it to his face just to anybody else who would listen.
