Tongy's been with the club for a couple of years now... but underneath the diffident, floppy haired exterior, what makes the Sunday skipper and 1xi stalwart tick? Royal Cricket asked Tongy to give it to us in his own words...

Favourite Movie: Gladiator
Favourite Book: To Kill a Mockingbird
Favourite Pub/Club: New Slang at the works in Kingston, indie night with live music, Or The Cricketers pub on Fairfield park in Kingston after playing Saturday football league matches. Premiership game on the pirated sky box, decent beer, comfy seating and awesome Thai food
Favourite Crisps: Classic 10p Space raiders, do they still do those??
