Fred Rumsey, the former Somerset and England left-arm fast bowler, will be joined by cricket writer and publisher Stephen Chalke at the Hampshire Cricket Societies' Christmas lunch at the Romsey Golf Club on Wednesday lunchtime.
Fred, now a sprightly 88 years of age, will recollect a life well lived. A real character, he played five times for England between 1964 and 1965 and, in a long county career with Worcestershire, Somerset and Derbyshire, took over 700 wickets, the bulk of them for Somerset. He later founded the Professional Cricketers' Association.
