Bob French: Dave Lamb, Wisbech cricketer Chris Clark and Boris Johnson
Lamb to the slaughter HE doesn't look a lot older - apart perhaps from the odd grey hair - but clearly age is catching up with former Baker Perkins goalkeeper Dave Lamb.
Lamb to the slaughter
HE doesn't look a lot older - apart perhaps from the odd grey hair - but clearly age is catching up with former Baker Perkins goalkeeper Dave Lamb.The lightning reflexes which saw him pull off brilliant saves week after week at Alma Road in the 60s and 70s have gone.
That was plain to see when he was spotted umpiring a Brotherhood's inter-departmental cricket match last week.
He was at square leg and as a batsman played a square-cut, Lamb was too slow to get out of the way.
He failed to take evasive action, the ball smacked him on the leg and down he went like a lead balloon.
The game was held up for 10 minutes - until everybody had stopped laughing!
Bogged down at festival
SOME people pack the funniest things when they go away on holiday . . . everything bar the kitchen sink.
Well, Wisbech cricketer Chris Clark takes the biscuit.
He loves his pop festivals and is off to the V Festival in Hylands Park, Chelmsford, where he'll be camping.
And, if past experiences are anything to go by, he knows the public toilets will stink to high heaven and will most probably not be equipped with toilet paper.
So what's he taking with him? Air freshener and some extra-soft Andrex?
No, he's splashed out 160 on his own portable loo!
Here's a cricketer who certainly won't get caught short!
Boris turns up at Castor
THE mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has been spotted trying his hand at quite a few sports . . . cycling, swimming, running.
Well, we can now exclusively reveal he's taken up cricket.
And what's more it's with one of our local clubs.
He's been spotted opening the bowling for Castor after joining them at the same time as James Fountain.
Drunk and disorderly
FULL marks to Peterborough Athletic Club - and not just for winning the weekend East Anglian League fixture at King's Lynn.
Not only were their members first to clear the hurdles, the high jump bar and the pole vault bar . . . they also cleared the main stand of a drunken spectator who was intimidating female athletes!
Rumour has it he was last seen cooling off in the water-jump on the steeplechase course!
