Profile of Iain Martin

(No picture yet.) Woor Geordie with Scouse origins. Vice-skipper of the Threes and all round organisational colossus for MDCC, qualified coach, umpire and apparently a most civil neighbour to Tom's Lindsay (if she would permit such possessive use of speech... alternatives on a postcard to....), looks after her pussy when she's not about, apparently. A most essential element of any successful club and we can praise the man no higher. And a handy bowler to suit. Ha'way the Lad.
