Listen on

Episode notes

This week's guest is the former England goalkeeper Nigel Martyn.

Nigel has nominated Aspin Lane, home of Knaresborough Cricket Club as his Ground Jewel.

Sport generally and cricket specifically has always played a huge part in the former Bristol Rovers, Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Everton keeper's life.

We discussed Nigel's post-football cricketing exploits for Knaresborough and Cornwall over-50s, as well as some of the grounds he loves (both football and cricket)
