Colin plays his 43rd season in a row for Plumpton Rugby Club

HE'S made an appearance in every one of Plumpton Rugby Club's 43 seasons and there are no signs of him retiring yet.

Remarkable Colin Fisher, 61, marks the pitches out, mows the grass, runs the touchline and even serves the beer for the club he helped to form way back in 1967.

And when his team turned up to top-of-the-table Eastbourne on Saturday with only 14 players, Colin stepped in to make it an incredible 43 seasons in which he has made an appearances for the club.

Plumpton captain Lewis Beale said: "He runs the touchline for us every week and when we are short of a player he will step in.

"We never expected him to score on Saturday but he did make a very impressive tackle two or three minutes in.

"He offered to play in the forwards - it's amazing the guy never gets injured."
