			NEWSPAPER REPORTS FROM THE FIFTIES 
			  
			 
			 
			Ken Geddes (brother-in-law of former Chester-le-Street pro Maurice 
			Strong, himself a prominent Alliance player) was one of the best 
			golfers in the North East in the fifties and Bert’s biggest rival.
			 
			 
			He was a fine match player who made the headlines when he defeated 
			Henry Cotton and Dai Rees (twice) in major competition. He was pro 
			at the Davyhulme Park club in Manchester when his premature death 
			occurred at the age of forty-three.
