Happy Birthday @jackrussellart
A significant part of this page even though he doesn’t feature!
I vowed to give up collecting autographs once the players were younger than me!
Gloucestershire called up a lad called Robert Russell and I hung up my pens, retired from this hobby.
Happy Birthday Robert Charles Russell, known as Jack Russell, was a painter and wicketkeeper.
Set a world record with 11 dismissals in a Test at Johannesburg in 1995.
Played 54 Tests for England, taking 165 dismissals.
Scored two Test centuries and made a crucial 29* in the 1995 Johannesburg Test.
Helped Gloucestershire win three one-day trophies in 2000 after retiring from International cricket.

RIP Judge
Robin Smith, who passed on today
Robin Smith
Like older brother Chris, he was unable to play for the country of his birth because of the exclusion of the apartheid regime from international cricket, but because he had British parents he qualified to play for England. He played in 62 Tests from 1988 - 1996.
