Andy Wright

The genial Wongy was a useful cricketer but his real love was rugby, where as a flanker he once found himself on the bench for England. A useful middle-order batsman and, on his day, a capable legspinner, after one season of captaincy in the 1960s he effectively disappeared from OCCC life for almost two decades, re-emerging after retirement from the RAF as a staunch tourist with a penchant for snuffling out the local claret (no mean feat in Sri Lanka) and keeping McDermott occupied.
