N.H.O. Clough (1943-2015)

That was his name as far as the cricket scorecards were concerned (and he makes it into the 1962 Wisden for the match between Clifton College and Tonbridge School at Lord's), for a man who was an utter gent (with an additional cheeky side), both on and off the field.

I knew Nick as a colleague on the local stage in Colchester (most recently in Pass the Butler below), but I confess to a boyish tingle of admiration whenever I'm involved with a colleague who is also a cricketer. A genuine hero.

Rest in peace Nick.
