I was born in Surrey, thankfully escaped after 10 days. Apparently I had spent most of the time crying, being sick and shitting myself. No surprise really. I was so upset I didn't talk for two years.
They play in brown for a reason.
My introduction to The Trevor was through cricket. I played on an estate at the top of the village. The Trevor being the favoured haunt after the match. I've only ever played once on the main village ground, about 40 years ago.
The pub was run by Brian and Nancy Taylor for 15 years. Such a...

When I umpired, I never hung around on plumb LBW's. The finger went up straight away. As an umpire you just know. But I had a reputation of raising my finger and then cocking my wrist in the direction of the dressing room. It was...
I remember giving a player out once who was such an annoying person. It was going down though. I simply said when asked afterwards 'I felt my finger going up and just couldn't stop it'. I ponder that may have been the umpire's problem there. I mean, okay, he's not offering a shot but it still...
