Sydney terror owns up to 1971 incident

30 December 1998
SYDNEY, Dec 30 (AFP) - The Australian cricket fan who sparked off
crowd trouble which led to England walking off the February 1971
Ashes Test at Sydney has finally owned up.
Trevor Guy, 80, answered an ABC radio appeal for the man who
leant across the boundary fence and grabbed England fast bowler
John Snow by the shirt in the incident which led to play being
suspended.
Guy, who had never been identified, told the Sydney Morning
Herald on Wednesday he was angry with Snow for felling Australian
tail-ender Terry Jenner with a bouncer and grabbed Snow by the
shirt to make sure he heard what he had to say.
Snow, in Australia to watch the current Ashes Test series, said
he had no hard feelings.
``Sure I'd shake his hand if I met up with him,'' Snow said. ``That
was a long time ago.''
