Story Time 164 – Rugby League Island

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, our title story takes us all the way back to 1997, to a magical island where strange creatures roamed. Was it Jurassic Park? Kinda, but with added Big Jim Wilson. Also this week, have we traced the Wally Hammond misadventure right back to its source? And how did a junior wicketkeeper end up at AEK Athens?
