No, it was not Cyril..... I started shooting Pigeons abroad several years before Cyril ventured over the water for a go at it.

Interestingly, when Cyril was writing his great history of the sport, he asked me about several of the older shooters I knew, among them Count Teba.
Impossible to find a detractor when asking about Teba, universally regarded by Spaniards and foreign nationals alike, as the consummate GENTLEMAN, in the Ring and the Field.
