53 not out for St James CC against Rottingdean CC. I came in at 5 for 3 and we reached 78 for 8. I then took 5 catches at short mid off.

:clap2: :clap2:

Come to think of, if Pattinson can play for England, maybe I'll ask for a game.

I hesitate to place an entry in such an illustrious list that demonstrates the sporting prowess of the nation - but it was an intended piece of skill playing 5-a-side. It was a high dropping ball - I moved towards it then with an opposition player moving towards me - in one movement I did a trap pass with the outside of my boot to a team-mate - at perfect pace into his path. Not much to many on here - but I intended it - and it came off perfectly. Marvellous.

Sorry, I believe you are disqualified, on the grounds of having TWO English parents...

Also ran the marathon although I was disappointed in my time of 3 hr 45. Plus, I won a few races at school sports day

I'm behind you!
My best sporting achievement started at around two in the morning, and happened over a twenty hour period after the Albion were promoted to Division 1 (the proper one). I might have been Brahms for much of the time, but I can vaguely remember how many times I got a hole in one.

Cleaning up from the break when playing pool for Sussex, and scoring a 25 yard half volley to stop a side winning the league with my only touch of the game.
