The man, the myth, the legend. Mitchy is a one man cabaret show, whether running under catches, inventing new shots such as the infamous "sweep defence" or simply standing in the middle of the pitch with his hands on his hips looking as though the world has turned its back on him. Induces more play and misses over a season than you've had hot dinners, when on song his silky swingers are mesmeric. Bowls pretty well sometimes too (I'm so sorry). Tends to run through a side a couple of times a season, suspicions have grown that during a heatwave he will creep up to the club at 2AM to leave the hose on for 5 minutes to achieve his elixir - lateral movement. Once had the tag as a bit of a choker with the bat, but recent late order cameos have proved vital in a number of wins when all those muppets above him have failed to do the job.
