About Andy
Been playing since I was a nipper on Skeggy beach, Farnsfield under 13's when 10-13 - never been coached it's all come naturally to me. Okay so Beaky Brown tried to teach me to 'tweak it but failed miserably. He was my PE teacher at Minster school and is not related - he has a big conk. Played in school teams then joined Fisko because I was having to drive my kid brother and his mates to games - so I thought I might as well play.
The Captain was Lord Sir Steven Todd MBE OBE. Who told me that I couldn't play in pale grey jeans and had to get whites? A couple of games later he told me I couldn't where a chin strap to keep me Miss Marple hat from blowing off. He was a Bast hard task master. I was playing in a pair of my dad’s 30 year old solid leather boots.
After a few years playing as a fielder for the first team, Bob Kirkham (Jim the village idiot's dad) realised I could bowl a bit so nicked me for the second team. After 2 seasons I was bowling in the first team - Still no coaching. Some of us are just naturally gifted. At that time I was a bang it in and hit 'em under the armpits from back of a length brute. Now I take 3 times as many wickets for far less runs and effort, by bowling flight and guile deliveries.
Getting bored now bye.
