Many, many fond memories of playing with "Boots" in the All Stars Band and against him in his beloved Portesham football team. The All Stars were a highly popular and successful band and Graham was already an established original member when I joined in 1961 and remained an ever present until I left in 1988 and throughout until the bands eventual demise. As the longest serving member, by far, his contribution to the bands success was exceptional. Very good bass player and vocalist, totally reliable and a welcome sense of humour. Aye, many fond memories.
