JOHN DEAR ~ the silver streak.

Arguably the team's fastest and most economical bowler. Andy (Skip/Guv/Boss) describes John as effervescent, I can't remember when he effer vasn't. John recently retired as headteacher of a local Middle School, before teaching, he was a minor film star, appearing in "Lassie" where he took the lead.

I heard John explaining to a team mate recently that his box is the same one he had as a schoolboy, not sure whether that's good or bad.

When John took up his initial teaching post, he was advised to be the disciplinarian, he marched into his first classroom and stated, loudly and clearly "My name is MISTER Dear and I would like to be known as such."

He was thereafter known as Mister Such.

John missed a few games recently ~ the truth to be revealed... he has returned to acting, this time as Richard Gere's stunt double in his latest film "Saturday down the Palais", John does the fandango with his fan in one hand and his dango in the other.

John lives fairly close to the Westhill ground, indeed it's a stone's throw away ~ that's why his windows are broken!
