| Name: Robin Head
Robin, the Elvis of the Cheddar players, has moves that would leave most of us with a double hernia or prolapsed bowels. Heady was a terrific captain for the Mighty Thirds in the recent past, a team which won promotion in 2002. Heady’s charisma and wit are never found wanting, which is more than you can say for his pre-season net bowling, (most deliveries having been given more flight than any type of land to air missile). His batting methods changes from superbly correct that Geoff Boycott couldn’t fault to good old agricultural.
