Jim Cumbes(don't worry)

[Scratchins]

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.

Shame, the Cumbes thread has cumbes and gone too soon.

We got knocked out of the Cup in the 1st round at 4th division Southend, Tommy Hughes had a stinker in goal.
A week later it was back to 3rd division league action at Oldham and Jim Cumbes making his debut. Don't remember him having much to do, we won 6-0.
He could reach the halfway line with ease throwing the ball. I can't remember who it was against but a match at VP he kicked the ball upfield towards the Witton, it took one bounce on the edge of the area and was then latched onto in the back of the net.
The only time he upset me was a game at Orient. We were 3-0 down and he collected the ball from behind the nets for a goalkick and was smiling. No doubt having a joke with someone in the crowd. Then again, he has always had a ready smile.

Worcester won the championship in 1974 so were reigning champions when we won the League Cup. That's his unique achievement. Jim is also the most dangerous interviewee I've ever done; he's so funny I was sore from laughing.

I was thinking on Wednesday night as I trudged my way back up the hill in the rain about previous finals. 1975 was my first Wembley and final experience with JC an integral part of the team. We sang loudly as we left the old Wembley “We’ll be running round the Bullring with the cup”. Sadly, we don’t sing it anymore and instead are forced into the generic “Free from Desire” which I have to admit, everyone joins in with wholeheartedly.
