Profile of Eddie Clark

Fast Eddie in moody b&w photo-shootOur very own thespian-luvvie, stand-up comedian, and taker of minutes extraordinaire. A man therefore of many talents, and has a bit left over to be a steady-eddy batsman and one of the few (only?) genuine spin bowlers in the club. A busy man treading the boards over the Festival and well worth catching his troupe in action (surely a mass Mufs attendance could be arranged to triple the audience?). Alter-ego "Eddie's Joke" a much loved part of the Mufs backroom staff.

Person Most Want to be Marooned on Desert Island with and why?An expert foot masseur/masseuse, for pretty much obvious reasons (webed- that is, in case you get sore feet??)
Person Least Want to be Marooned on Desert Island with and why?Anyone (even a foot massage expert) who has aspirations to appear on Big Brother, because they must be SOOO sad.
Best Sporting Moment? Difficult to beat Shane Warne's opening delivery to Mike Gatting at the Old Trafford Test in 1993.
Best Personal Sporting Moment/Achievement? I'd like to say scoring 57 at Dunfermline Carnegie in May 2001 (I think the first half-century scored for the newly merged M-DAFS club). So I will. We threw the game away, unfortunately
Worst Sporting Moment/Achievement (personal or any)? Writing off a squah racket - recent birthday pressie from missus- by smacking it against the wall of a court in a rare and dishonourable moment of frustration. It went flat on one side and stayed curved in the other, as they do (racket, that is, not wall or wife)
Sporting Idol?A Russian chap who once appeared on "Record Breakers" years ago, breaking the world distance record for pulling a railway wagon with his teeth. Can't remember his name, though I expect his dentist can (webed- a certain Mr Hothersall could sort him out... no more wagons for him)
Personal Motto/Philosophy? "Let me eat cake."
Significant/Tenous Claim to Fame (if any)? Have been an extra in "Taggart"
