Aged 47 & 3/4 I had my first mid-life crisis and decided that twenty-five years working for a bank was enough. This was not far after the credit crunch though I swear this was not my fault. Minus a plan I knew that I could live on what I had unless I had a series of meltdowns; to date the Thai bride and the Porsche remain a myth.
I grew up loving playing out and sport; I would have died attached to an X-Box. I know how much having a passion that kept me active, fit and allowed me to meet great people meant. For over twenty years I tried to put something back by coaching kids at my local cricket club but kids just don’t seem to get sport anymore. Eventually, I just realised it was pointless.
Another passion of mine is writing. I’ve always wanted to write and, hopefully, make people laugh if mainly at me. My first book was about life from a young lad to gnarled old veteran at the club; one club men are as rare as rocking horse sh*t. I’d never written a book and it was one of the hardest things I’ve done.
The follow-up was my take on a twenty-five year career with a bank, grateful for all that I learned surrounded by some fantastic people. My third book is a collection of tales from a desperately mediocre sportsman who has tried most sports over the decades hoping to find one he was any good at.
I should end by saying that all profits from my books went to helping junior cricket. I should have bought the Porsche!
