My earliest memory of oly was seeing him and a guy called whits not sure on spelling there but I watched them walk through town with a big brindle deerhound and whits had a cream coloured lurcher. I was around 10 years old I thought they were so cool, from that moment I wanted a dog like that. I still didn't really know Oly only what I had been told that he was local lurcher terrier man if you want to know owt he is the man. I got my first lurcher and after a few months lamping and working dog I had caught nothing, I was bit scared as a young lad but went and knocked at his house with my dog told him situation. He was a bit stern and intimidating but he said ok come round tonight when its dark I will come out with you, as I turned to leave he goes don't bring your daft mates come alone. That was a long few hours waiting till dark but I turned up to find him sat outside in his boots he grabbed lamping gear and said put dog in back of van. He took me to some favourable land in Gargrave he said no talking when I say slip let dog go within 5 minutes dog had caught a rabbit I think on only third slip we ended up that night with 4 rabbits which he said he would keep lol! Guy was the dog whisperer he just said you know what to do now you'll be good on your own and don't let me catch you on my land only I have permission. I went out a few more times with him with that dog and got to perfect lamping craft he also had that first dog jumping fences retrieving to hand within a couple months the best trained dog I owned all down to him.
