Cricketer John

John loves cricket, but there isn't much chance to play at home, as this sport isn't very popular in Spain and he is also too busy playing football!  Here he is getting ready to hit some sixes against his cousins in England.

Fishing is another favourite sport!

Unfortunately John didn't catch any fish in Scotland, but it was fun (?) using multi-coloured maggots as bait!

Nacho Novo and John at Ibrox Park

Lucky Nacho gets to meet John.... or is it the other way around?

Rangers 3 - Man City 2

5th August 2009
A magical night to remember ... and Rangers won!

First visit to Ibrox Park

John's grandfather, Jock, is very famous at Ibrox as he was the manager of Glasgow Rangers for many years.  John was invited to visit the Trophy Room and also watch the Rangers vs. Man City friendly in August 2009 from the prestigious directors box!  He also got to meet lots of famous footballers from many years ago, and also some of the current Rangers and Man City players.

Visit to the ground of Berwick Rangers FC

John's grandfather Jock Wallace used to be the goalkeeper and player manager of Berwick Rangers.  He first made the headlines when Berwick Rangers beat Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers in 1967 to knock them out of the Scottish cup.  Jock later went on to have a hugely successful career in football management, mostly at Glasgow Rangers, as well as several other important clubs such as Motherwell, Colchester, Leicester City and Sevilla CF.

Training on the beach

Training is fun - taking a jog on the beach with Jagger the dog. 
A couple of small sharks were seen here in the water on 31st August 2009!  Apparently no threat to bathers, but the authorities forced them far out to sea, to be on the safe side.
