When I stopped playing I was tempted to take the exams and become an Umpire,sadly it was too much having to work on Saturdays and sometimes Sundays,I was a mechanic with a coach company.It was important to pay the rent and buy groceries etc.cool

i could never be an umpire.....partly because i had keratoconus but making a mistake in front of 30,000 people just not that appealing lol
