Jonny Shingo, aka "GLC", "Red Ken", "Top Gun". Former Leighton Park Cricket Captain and fighter pilot, Jonny's favourite chat-up line was that he was a chartered accountant. If he mentioned his real job, girls wouldn't believe him.
Famously summed up as a "good little cricketer", Shingo has a meticulous batting technique and a well-honed, windmill, off-spin action. He has scored over 3,000 runs and taken 14? wickets for the OLCC.
Tour Joker in 1988 for his ridiculous big hair ("look at the 'air on that bloke!") and "vodafoot" buffoonery, it is a wonder that he has not claimed the award since. JPNP
