Jack Russell Biography

Jack Russell is one of the most popular and richest Cricket Player who was born on August 15, 1963 in England, England, United Kingdom. Cricket star for England and Gloucestershire who was also an aspiring artist.

Andrew Symonds, the Australian All-Rounder, also briefly spent time at Gloucestershire.

Russell was born in Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. He gained the support he needed to become a first-class cricketer from his father, John, at Stroud Cricket Club, and at Archway School. Two days before his fourteenth birthday, he saw a catch on television: McCosker, caught Knott, bowled Greig, at Headingley in 1977. Russell himself has commented: “Low-down, one-handed, across first-slip. Brilliant. I thought then that I would like to be able to do that. That’s where it started; that was the inspiration [for becoming a wicket keeper].”

He also insisted on always wearing the same battered old flowerpot sunhat during his time out in the field, a constant companion from his debut in 1981 to his last game in 2004. Russell lined up the ball with the specially cut back rim, but it ended up rather worn out. Only his wife Aileen was allowed to repair it, while Russell carried an emergency repair kit of cotton thread and rubber. Its state of age and hence apparent disrepair caused more than one argument with the authorities. Russell refused to wear the official coloured one-day sunhat in South Africa, with a compromise only reached when Russell agreed to wear his old flowerpot hat inside the new sun hat. On a second occasion in the West Indies, he agreed to wash it, and placed it to dry in an oven. Forgotten and resultantly overbaked, the hat caught fire, and was only just rescued from total incineration – the top collapsed like puff pastry on removal. The fire damage could still be seen on the hat years later.

He was born in the town of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England.
