The former Scunthorpe United footballer, Sir Ian Botham, has been appointed Chairman of Durham CCC.
Back in 1992, Both starred for the North-East County with both bat and ball in their first season as a full cricketing county.
The great England all-rounder and Sky broadcaster, whom I have interviewed for radio in the past, will have his work cut out at Durham who were relegated from the First Division at the end of last season for having accrued too much debt!
