Heard a replay of Darren Gough the cricketer telling a story yesterday to Adrian Durham. They were discussing James Bond films in particular Goldeneye and the subject of the BMW Z3 roadster came up, Goughie said "I had one of them back in 2002". Seems that he was at cricket ground near Bradford I think, bad weather held up play and he decided to go home till weather improved. He passed a BMW dealer and there was a great looking Z3 roadster - Black in colour - outside the showroom. Still dressed in his cricket whites he went inside and brought it on the spot, it was delivered 5 days later. He said he lost a lot of money on it when he sold it. Wonder where it is now?
 
Cricketers dont just play for their County, they also register with a Club to be eligible to play for the County. So for eg Goughie did play (briefly) for Shepley, the village where I live. So yes, he would have turned out for local sides . . .

Great cricketer, he would run through a brick wall for Yorkshire . . .
