This report comes from cow corner, where a witness was closely interrogated ...
Arnie Sidebottom is a softly spoken, approachable man with a strong handshake.
And like previous speakers – and as befits a former Manchester United centre-half – he's tall.
He's also from Barnsley and had a thought or two about another proud son of the town, Darren Gough, as well as some excellent Geoff Boycott tales.
No other guest has played with Denis Law, George Best and Bobby Charlton though, so football greats shared equal billing.
Arnie helped Man Utd win the second division championship in 1974/75 and only recently collected his medal on the pitch at Old Trafford.
Sadly the ever-longer football season made it impossible for him to combine the two sports at professional level.
It was Geoff Boycott who counselled him to 'stick to cricket'.
Sound advice – and football's loss was undoubtedly our gain.
