2. FOOTBALL offers the world clichés; RUGBY produces facial deformity; HOCKEY provides an acceptable outlet for psychotic violence; CRICKET alone breeds myths. More quotes here.
Profile: The Lockster
The Lockster is an original member
of the team, but sadly we see to little of him these days what
with fatherhood and living 100'so of miles away. John "Legs" Lock
has only ever bowled 3 Overs for the team, but they were killer
Overs, if a touch expensive (a bit like his tax skills).
As to batting, the Lockster occasionally surprises. His highest score for us is 24, but on the other hand he's rarely out for a duck. As the stats show he is prone to being cleaned bowled, and maybe a touch suspicious in the run out department (maybe he played in many games with our champion, Mr Rodbert?). In his long career, the Lockster has never retired! But truly his finest moment came vs the Brutes of ""@## where one of their players hit a ball so high and so hard it first became snowcapped and then overheated on re-entry. But the Lockster sauntered over, combed his hair, spread his legs and took it comfortably. One of our greatest ever catches.
