Happily retired close to grandsons in Newcastle.

Favourite players: Allan Border Henry Lawson

Favourite grounds:

All-time cricket hero: Many influences growing up

Favourite bat: Grey Nicholson

Most memorable moment in cricket:
Probably playing in a winning Poidiven Grey team.

What’s the best cricket advice you’ve ever received:
One from John “Nooky” Swanson (dual international) going back about 40 years. “ “You can feed your family cricket or baseballs…I respect you as you have degrees!”. Although it was related to baseball it has so much relevance to all sports and Nooky was the best I was lucky to play along side of.
