What's your greatest sporting achievement?

I started working out with a personal trainer at my local gym in October 2007. I began with 19.1% body fat and the ability to do 13 pathetic push ups. At my last assessment - nine months after I began - I found that I'm down to 12% body fat and I did 42 push ups.

A couple of weeks before that - after one of my training sessions - I played in two football games back to back. I'm 42 years old; none of the other players were older than 16! I'm quite pleased that I managed to keep up with them, even if I did fall asleep at 8:30pm on a Saturday.

What's your greatest sporting ambition (real and imaginary)?

Being caught and bowled first ball by a Scotsman who had never played cricket before. To make my humiliation worse, he couldn't stop apologising to me.
