Long standing member of the club,
Mike is fond of reminding people that he was instrumental
in keeping the club running back in the late 80's. This
is particularly the case when asked to be 12th man by
the skipper....Rumours abound that he used to be able
to bowl but this has never been proved. The same can
be said about his batting. And fielding. In fact only
gets into the team these days because of the website.

Richard Clare
Nickname - Rocky
Richard is still fondly referred to as one of the colts.
At least I think that's what people are saying. He joined
the club in 1992 as a wee lad and has been stuck at
short leg ever since though he is occassionally seen
behind the stumps. Normally having a sly pee before
the game starts. Has got the worlds second smallest
pair of nipples.

Gavin Horton
Nickname - Glory
His official club nickname would be 'Northern Monkey'
but he objected on the grounds that his club shirt would
cost more due to the extra embroidery. Tight bastard.
Earned his nickname whilst playing against St Johns
Wood and single handedly taken the attack to them. We
lost by 10 wickets. If you ever meet Glory in the street
(1) keep hold of your wallet and (2) ask him about his
bolwing display in Minehead.

Hugh Mitchell
Nickname - Uncle Hugh
Has been around since the dawn of creation. Possibly
longer. Hugh is a well loved and respected member of
the Iver Heath family. Is it because of his wily old
off spinners ? Perhaps it is his dogged yet flamboyent
batting style. Maybe it's his lightning reflexes in
the slips taking breath taking catches every season.
More than likely, however, it's a combination of all
of the above. And the fact he's always first to the
bar.

Ian Mitchell
Nickname - Trigger
The subject of much debate (not to mention derision)
when it came to the subject of his official club nickname.
Being the sensitive soul that he is, Ian didn't want
to walk onto the pitch to bat with 'Fat Bloke' emblazoned
on his shirt. Like the opposition aren't going to notice
anyway ? He eventually won and his nickname now reflects
his umpiring style rather than his likeness to the 'Only
Fools and Horses' character though now I think about
it a bit more.....

Adam Seymour
Nickname - Nipper
The baby of the bunch. Despite the photo on the left,
he can't hold his beer as the lads at Farnham Royal
are more than happy to tell you ! Plays for Hillingdon
on a Saturday and then slums it with us on a Sunday.
Always has an answer for everything. Years of playing
cricket for Iver Heath will knock the cocky streak out
of him....it has for the rest of us.....

Mark Seymour
Nickname - Dirk Diggler
At last ! We have finally got a left hander in the
side !! The only previous one we had was also a steaming
left footer who seemed to be more interested in the
fine lengths on show in the showers rather than any
of the ones on the cricket field so we got rid of him
sharpish. Mark, on the other hand, we want to hang on
to 'cuz he's actually quite good. Had already beaten
the club record runs in the season by July. Likes a
drink or too and looks like an 80's porn star hence
the nickname. "Jah...das ist gut...I use zee egg
visk now ? Vee make a speshial moofie ?"

Ben Smith
Nickname - Jammin'
Notoriously unreliable and can go whole seasons without
ever calling. Rumours of his alien heritage still abound
despite him having spent the last 10 years on planet
Earth. Was part of the all conquering colts team from
the early 90's and has remained in the side ever since
mainly because of his drinking abilities. Since Stocksie
emigrated to the States, Jammin' has taken on the role
of club drinker which is just as well cuz he can't play
cricket for shit.....

Iain Stanfield
Nickname - Stanners
Ask any opposing batsman who they least look forward
to facing when playing Iver Heath and they'll all say
the same. However, since the skipper doesn't let me
bowl much these days, Stanners is the next best thing.
Despite the fact that his knees are now held together
with lolly sticks and elastic bands, Stanners still
manages to amaze us all with his cricketing exploits
each season. Passed the landmark 500 wickets earlier
this season.

Paul Taylor
Nickname - Fat Frank
Paul was at the centre of the famous Iver betting scandal
from a few years back and is still a shady character
even now. He is also about 2 stone heavier since those
heady days hence the new nickname. Despite bearing an
uncanny resemblance to Frank Skinner, Paul has never
said anything funny. Ever. He owns a dog with deep rooted
psychological problems and is still coming to terms
with the fact that he is no longer the alpha male of
the house. That's Paul, not the dog. The dog is happy
in his new role. He is the Daddy.

Colin Terry
Nickname - Tonto
With the long grey hair in a ponytail and bad back,
Colin is now starting to look more like aging 70's rock
star than an athletic wicket keeper. Only the fact that
he hasn't drowned on his own vomit prevents him from
entering the Rock Hall of Fame. And the fact that he
can't sing which he proved so conclusively at the end
of season karaoke session a few years back. I've not
been able to listen to "Jammin" since....

Doug Vigar
Nickname - Mr V
The memory man. If you've done it, Doug will remember
it. Whether or not what Doug is saying is true is still
open to debate but he expresses his views with such
an authoritative air that one summises that they must
be true. Used to have cat like reflexes in the outfield.
Now just fields like a cat chasing a ball of wool.
(MB Note - Must stop criticising skipper or will never
get a bowl)

with his brother David and father, Graham. After a number
of years away from the boys he has decided to come back
and show us all how to play the game despite not having
picked up a bat or ball in abround 12 years ! Welcome

Dave Williams
Nickname - DHB
Let's get one thing straight from the beginning. Dave
is not ginger, he is strawberry blonde. Now that we've
got that straight we should all be in for a much more
relaxed afternoon...DHB (which stands for Double Hard
Bastard) likes to hit the ball hard. Very hard. Has
been known to make grown men weep with his batting.
These days, however, he is batting like a girl. I can
say that cuz he hasn't got access to the Internet. The
big ginger girl.
