Don't know if Dicky Bird was his real name but he was an immigration officer in Auckland who knew every single seaman who jumped there, so much so that one bloke went to Aus a a ring bolt on the Monawai, came back six months later and Dicky bird was waiting for him, said to him, I never forget a face.

I used to watch a lot of cricket at one time John, Dicky Bird was a very popular umpire and well respected for his fairness, he
was also a very good cricketer in his day and played for Yorkshire, cheers.
