We were talking the other day about professions that have been followed by Clapham Nomads players over the years. Yes we may have been predominantly postmen, civil servants, accountants and the like but there is definitely no other team that can claim to have been represented by; an actor, a Bulgarian interpreter, a Heavy Metal journalist, a male model, a rock star, a masseur, a river drainage organiser, a cellist, a jazz composer, a pizza delivery man, a debt collector, a Pound Shop manager, a hotelier and a cashew nut plantation owner. So, OK, maybe that is why we can seem a bit eccentric at times but looking at that list you will see that we are also quite musical, a bit fit (in every sense of the word) and a tad nuts (that's the cashews.)
If anyone can think of any others, or wants to admit to having a job that would belong on that list, please let me know. In any case it would be very hard to top the Open University cc, whose batting was opened for years by a Rhythm and Blues guitarist and a gravedigger.
