Two former Chelsea attackers and a current Liverpool striker regularly attract criticism on the pitch, but off it should be a different matter, writes Nigel…
Born into a sporting family, with a father who played both local league football and cricket, and a PE teacher and ladies international cricket umpire mother, Nigel Owen soon caught the sporting bug, going to watch his father from an early age. He followed his father's lead, playing local football and cricket, before recently retiring from playing both, but now referees football and helps run Teddington Cricket Club.

Nigel has spent his whole career in the banking world, and currently works for RBC in London.
