Had lots of team success in football but no outrageous personal achievements, had an albatross when I was sixteen with a pured 4 iron from 230 yards and the next two weekends I bowled two hatricks, all bowled!
Cricket: Whilst at uni I was on my way back from Pompey to Worthing for a Saturday game. I'd gone out on the Friday and was HANGING, massively overslept, missed my train, got the next one but then fell asleep again and woke up in Brighton. Bunked the train back to Worthing and got a taxi to the ground, and the game was already twelve or so overs in, we were fielding and the oppo were about 60 without loss, and I was supposed to have opened the bowling. I went into the pavilion, changed, vommed a lot, ran outside into the sunshine, got brought on first change and my spell was 4 overs, 5 for 12, then told the captain I'd had enough. I somehow made it through the rest of the innings without being sick again, and insisted on being no11 for our innings as I was about to die. We crumbled (only chasing 180-odd) to 120ish for 9 and I went out and smashed 41* to see us home. Walked off, took my helmet off, vommed again.
A break of 47 in snooker.
