My first Rovers match was at Eastville in 1966. Simples. That was my first match too, I was there - and, 52 years later, I realise that it was you who nicked my username. I had nowhere to go for something (un)original - so I picked up on a misquote of my name from the newspapers during my cricketing days (1980s). Some article or other about a forthcoming match had my name misprinted as Slamje - As a result of that misprint, the Wiltshire Minor Counties captain called up because he had never heard of me - and someone in our side managed to convince him that I was a Norwegian fast bowler being brought in as a ringer just for that one game. I think if you look in the scorebook for that game, the scorers kept up the deception and that was the name that they printed on the scorecard. The name stuck and, in fore-shortened form, it became my nickname from that date.

If you only seek the opinion of people who agree with you, you'll learn nothing more than you knew before you started.

Nickname from Horfield c of E school (left Bristol 1973) and house number. Your school nickname was Beaver? My nickname at school was indeed beaver. My actual name is Steve, but I had a mate with a speech impediment, and he couldn't get the 'St' sound and it sounded like Beeven, so it became 'beaver'.
