Profile of Richard Sorrell

The Beast of Sorrell The spearhead of the Mufs One's attack... fast and aggressive with ball in his hand (until he runs out of puff) - be grateful he is on our side!! Pretty handy with the bat as well and that maiden 50 surely can't be far off. The perfect bowling foil to the misery (I mean frugal not grumpy... then again) Norman Allan. Has a decent taste in flash motors as well. Hosts the most lethal of stag-dos and weddings.... A solid all-round professional.
