"My memory is being started up and I remember a nice man walking thru the starting grid and putting a 5 Pound note in every starters boot.

Does anyone know who the Billown benefactor was?

I remember someone talking about this a few years ago.

Was it someone connected to the old Ronaldsway Shoe Company?
