A remarkable man. If averages were done on enthusiasm, Stimmo would be top every year. In fact, his enthusiasm for cricket is only outweighed by his enthusiasm for everything else - sometimes, if appears that he pays his annuals purely so that he has access to a massive field to wang a frisbee about. Also the clubs leading water slide enthusiast, any kind of club success is always tempered by the fact that it is followed by Stimmo doing a full 40m slide in his tighty whities. Batting-wise, he is very much a disciple of the Keith Goodman bottom hand thug. If its up there, he will be swinging his bat in the vague location of the ball and to hell with the consequences. Bowling is a real smorgasboard of different deliveries - It's a good job this profile doesn't have a bowling type, as RAF/FM/M/OB/LS looks a bit silly. Fielding involves happily galloping around the field like an unseated horse at the Grand National.

How long have you played for Bentley CC?
I think Brian Coleman and Martin Larrett turned up to Doddinghurst Junior school in year 5 or 6 to see if anyone was interested in cricket. Only 4 people turned up and the rest is history. I make that around 14 years ago.

Fantasy tea (2 x sandwiches, 1 x savoury, 1 x cake, 1 x wildcard)
Coronation chicken (must be home made and with raisins), cheese and pickle on white bread. hotdogs, carrot cake (lots of icing and walnuts on top), scones with fresh cream and jam

Getting to play cricket and have a laugh with my mates week in week out whether we win or lose.

Whats your earliest memory of Bentley CC?
Friday night training sessions. Having a burger, getting fueled up on fizzy drinks and a curly wurly and running around with my mates until it was time to go home.

Whats the best shot you ever played? Whats the best ball?
Best shot would be the six to bring up my maiden (and probably only) ton, really summed up my innings hoiking it over cow....a classy knock.
Best ball would be back in the days i used to bowl leg spin, nothing beats bowling a batsman with a high looping full toss.

The best thing I can cook is……cheese, ham and mushroom omelette with bread and butter

Sappers so i get to look cool in his car

Not much of a trivia man, would get a few drinking games going to liven things up!

I reckon Greeno could put together a life saving nurdle, Div 7 only though, i don't fancy his chances any higher.
