Party Line was a really good daughter of Alan Adare back in the day in KZN. Was trained by late C.Hyde.

Of course another of the same name followed again but never rings any bells like the above-mentioned.

Syd Laird had a special boot for him to put his legs in every day because of his gummy joints.
