Have you ever seen the footage of Maradona juggling the ball?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Romario was doing that on the way in the tunnel, you know, he was like, oh, my God.
Oh, no, bouncing off his head.
I'm never watching cricket again, I think.
I was a kid in the North East and there was no real county side then because Durham didn't exist.
But...
There was a famous boys club called Walls End Boys Club, which was renowned for football, really.
But around the corner was the sports centre, Walls End Cricket Club.
And I used to play for the school and ended up going in the summer
to play for Wolves End Cricket Club, yeah.
So that's where it basically started.
I wasn't very good, though.
I wasn't very naturally at anything, but I would have a go at anything.
But I would prefer to bat than bowl, yeah.
It was hard work, that bowling log, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
But as I said, we didn't have a county team.
Durham was great.
Yeah, Durham didn't happen until a few years later after I left.
