My guest this week is Bristol Bears hooker, Tom Lindsay. Tom and I first locked horns during a London 1 game between Sutton & Epsom and Old Colfeians. We later went on to become team-mates at both Blackheath and Esher.

This interview was recorded August of 2000 and 19 and we took a lovely stroll down memory lane through Tom’s career with some key learning points around player development, the role of the coach and especially team culture.
