Henry Blofeld

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

Interesting interview on In Touch on Radio 4 just now which will be on the iplayer. It seems the bloke can hardly see which is why he keeps getting the players mixed up.

Sounds like he might have to give up commentating soon because of it.

thought Fleming must have been older, i wasn't paying too much attention to be honest, I was probably pissing about on here and my ears just pricked up when I heard his name

He was certainly a first-rate arrogant cock when he came to do a night at Whitburn CC years ago.

Charged a bloody fortune, told the (then) Seaburn Hotel to send his accommodation bill to WCC, was only on for a short while, and insisted on pocketing the proceeds of the raffle that was held for the club that night.

First-rate kernt. And he was crap when he was speaking an'all, by all accounts.

Should have filled him in never mind give him the raffle money

I went to one of his speaking nights a few years ago.

Very little of it was about cricket.

And also,I recall,used the occasion to flog his latest book and conveniently didn't have any change for those who were buying it!
