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 147 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
