He played football as a midfielder for Huddersfield Town, Carlisle United, Doncaster Rovers and Queen of the South.

And baseball is back in a lot of countries. A baseball being a sort of flabby slightly soft cricket ball with a less shiny surface. Surely a baseball is more ‘vectory’ than a cricket ball. (I have a baseball, a tennis ball and a cricket ball in front of me, because that’s just how my home office is)
