Remembering Motty at the Crown & Sceptre
July 2023
I first remember seeing John Motson at the Hollybush in Redbourn at least 20 years ago. He lived in Harpenden at the time and was a regular there, minus his famous trademark sheepskin coat.

The trouble is, we’ve had a Jubilee and a Coronation in the space of a year, what’s left to celebrate?
