David Lloyd, a former first-class umpire himself, is a student and a champion of the white-coated art. A little while ago he guest-edited an issue of our magazine, and listed his top 10 officials of all time.

He was also an umpire who loved his fitness training. I remember him going for a run in the Parks at Oxford once and found himself bitten by a dog! Alan’s reaction to the bite was to thump the owner!
