Nigel Owen’s Posts
Nigel Owen
Born into a sporting family, with a father who played both local league football and cricket, and a PE teacher and ladies international cricket umpire mother, Nigel Owen soon caught the sporting bug, going to watch his father from an early age. He followed his father's lead, playing local football and cricket, before recently retiring from playing both, but now referees football and helps run Teddington Cricket Club. There are few sports he doesn't enjoy playing and/or watching - golf, snooker, tennis, horse racing, even managing to find the only curling rink in England.
Nigel has spent his whole career in the banking world, and currently works for RBC in London.
