Steve Sims profile

  • Steve "Yoda, Simsy" Sims
  • Not many clubs can boast a Star Wars legend among their ranks but we've got two - Yoda and Chewbacca. For countless years Yoda was a single man full of sexual frustration. He would spend so many nights tossing and turning (well, tossing at least) that come Saturday afternon he was unable to get the ball off the square. Then, a young lady called Mary came into his life. Overnight, Yoda was carting bowlers to all corners. If only he'd found her 15 years ago - we'd have won the Premier League twice over by now.
    Many of you will be familiar with Yoda's famous sayings, but did you know that he based them on Burnham cricketers (Star Wars is set in the future so he travelled back in time; go with me) See if you can guess which player/players inspired the following bits of wisdom. The answers are at the bottom.
    1. "Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you."
    2. "Grave danger you are in. Impatient you are."
    3. "Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."
    4. "Always in motion is the future."
    5. "Help you I can, yes."
    6. "When 900 years you reach, look as good, you will not."
    Answers: 1. Mikie Forshaw. 2. Ed King. 3. The Whittaker boys. 4. Jonty Melton. 5. Everyone at the club. 6. Jon Barthorpe.
