Description
Tell us what you think of this episode
This episode is a chat with Adge John of Saundersfoot Cricket Club.
Adge made the local newpaper headlines in the summer when he finished being scorer for the club. Nothing unusual in that you might think but when you learn that he has been suffering with a debilitating eye disease all his life and is slowly losing his sight, his efforts appear nothing short of amazing.
