Profile of Phil Rogers

Claypole Our Saintly one. Medium-fast right-arm accurate swing-meister bowler whose energy and enthusiasm has no bounds. A man one would always count on to fight for the cause to the very last ounce of strength... almost worryingly hyperactive. An exclusive party-thrower for the beautiful people with an extraordinary range of music... did you not get an invite? Another member of the footballing CS Strollers. Looks great in a Jester's Hat and much missed from Children's TV of yester-year.
