True dat. Hansen actually packed in playing football for a couple of years in his teens with aspirations of being a pro golfer before getting back into football with Sauchie Juniors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of Salopian cricketer-goalies, Steve Ogrizovic. Played for Shropshire and the Minor Counties. Had some first-class one day games for the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Former Doonhamer Chris Balderstone had previously played top flight English football with Carlisle United (73-74)in the first division championship at the same time he was playing professional County Cricket with Leicestershire. In 1975 whilst playing for Doncaster Rovers he left Queens Park, Chesterfield at stumps, (where Leicestershire were away to Derbyshire) travelling to play in an evening league home game at Belle Vue against Brentford FC (1-1). He then returned in the morning to notch up a Century and take 3 Wickets in helping secure the County Championship title for the Foxes. The following year Balderstone was capped twice by England as they were put to the sword by a rampant touring West Indies side. On his retirement from County Cricket and Professional football (following his spell at QotS and his final club) he went on to Umpire at County & International level.The unassuming, quietly spoken Yorkshireman, must be right up there having played football at the highest domestic standard and test cricket as a true all round sportsman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
