We are grateful to Clive Smith (S54-58) and his passion for cricket for spotting a Test Match Special podcast on BBC Sounds Radio 5 Live this week. It’s of a very recent interview by Stephan Shemilt the BBC Chief Cricket Correspondent with our only Test Cricketer David Larter (R51-57).
As well as mentioning the College towards the beginning, it gives a fascinating insight into the 1962/1963 Ashes Tour to Australia. Clive was a year below David and to this day he can well recall facing him on a number of occasions.

Richard Sayer (S56-61) biography on David is a great read and still available – click here for details.
