Awards
2nd XI player of year 1999. Come to think of it I haven't won anywhere near the amount I deserve!

Little known personal fact
Appeared in a Spielberg movie.

Sporting hero(es)
Anyone who has played International Rugby for England. Ian Botham & Geoff Boycott. No footballers they're all play acting ponces!!!!

Hobbies or Interests
Cricket, Rugby, Ski-ing, proper beer!, Ballet, Modern Art and Opera.

Worst Moment
Any game I lose. Although being bowled out for 69, chasing 88 against Hutton in 1997, must come close!

Most Memorable Match
Any match we win. Probably 1999 2nd XI Old Southendians away. It secured the FIRST promotion that I led the 2's to! Promotions are old hat now!

Other
I like to think that I'm honest and people know where they stand! I've little time for those who moan but will not put themselves out to affect any change! We're better as a club than we used to be, but there are still too many players at the top end of the club whose availability is poorer than it should be.
