Title: Jim Cumbes(don't worry)
Post by: Scratchins on May 22, 2026, 02:20:31 PM

Jim has been interviewed for the Telegraph but it has been put behind a paywall. I have been asked by a close friend of his if I could find it and send a copy. I am reluctant to sign up to the Telegraph. Can anyone help please?
Jim is a fascinating man, the only one to win trophies in both cricket and football in the same calendar year, hosted a show on Radio WM, became Chief Executive of Lancs cricket, conceded just 5 goals in one season and an all round good egg.
