When 'The Human Juke Box' is
playing you only need a couple of more players. I remember fielding
at Scarborough with Gavin Hastings, Freddie Trueman, Richie Benaud,
Brian Johnston, Bill Clinton, Henry Blofeld, Geoff Boycott, Bob
Willis, Princess 'Di', Mr Major, Neil Kinnock and George Bush, all
courtesy of the curly haired genius sitting in the pavilion, feet
up, lost in his own world.
He also scored 50 against Yorkshire on that day which certainly
set the seagulls alight. Capable wrist spinner, excellent catcher
(ask Rob Bailey at Rugby) and powerful square cutter.
Once spoke to Syd Lawrence's back for a full 20 minutes thinking
he was Gary Mason “How would you have handled Tyson, Gary?”....
Rory’s all round cricket improves every year and the free
time he gives speaking at cricketers benefits is regarded as priceless
and without parallel. Without doubt his “Bremner Bird and
Fortune” series on Channel 4 is the funniest show on television.
