After twelve largely anonymous years with the club, no one knew who Ben Brook was. Despite him winning numerous NON-CRICKET club awards, including 1st place in Ben Brook fantasy cricket league, 1st place in the Ben Brook Fantasy Football league, clubman of the year, poker wins and, possibly most impressively the BB sponsored award for most gratuitous use of the word 'flange' in a match report 2011, teammates either ignored Brook or at best, tolerated him.
All that was to change when he took up the mantle of Sundays skipper. In, what is now recognised by most commentators as outrageous good fortune, Brook formed a team of vast skill, athleticism, creativity and legendary drinking prowess. Despite his obvious lack of talent as a cricketer or Captain the exploits of the now famous and revered MAKE PUTNEY SUNDAYS GREAT AGAIN team of 2017 vaulted Brook undeservedly into the pantheon of Great Putney CC captains.
Which just goes to prove that it is better to be lucky than good and that even a short Northerner can attain greatness if he is fortunate enough to have great players around him.
