Neath’s players welcomed Allan Bateman to the club by locking him in a toilet for an hour on their coach travelling back from a game in London.
Every time he tried to open the door, he recalls in his book There and Back Again, he’d be set upon and have to bolt himself back inside.
Luckily for him, all the cans of beer were stored in the said toilet, a circumstance that Bateman used as a bargaining chip to secure his release in one piece.
