- Denis Compton: [emerging from the cricket nets] The last time we met was at that awful Inter-Services match at Oldchester.
- Bob Regan: Oh Boy, do I remember that day! But you've been doing alright in football since then, not to mention your efforts at this game.
- Denis Compton: Oh well, Bob, I've had more than my fair share of luck...
- Bob Regan: I fully realised that I was walking out on a great opportunity by leaving the Arsenal. But despite this, I couldn't get back to Oldchester fast enough. I found myself hoping that Mike Collins hadn't yet signed up another player to take my place in the forward line.
