CRICKET legend Phil Tufnell, pictured centre, had guests in a spin during the Dorset Sporting Club’s autumn lunch.
The cricketer-turned-TV-personality shared memories and anecdotes from his time in the game, as well as colourful tales from his TV and media career, during the event at Rick Stein’s restaurant in Sandbanks, Poole.
The lunch was sponsored by law firm Ellis Jones Solicitors, which has a branch in Swanage.
Nigel Smith, managing partner at Ellis Jones, said: “Phil was absolutely brilliant company. It was a privilege to have such a legend of the game and born raconteur with us for a very entertaining afternoon.”
Tufnell – nicknamed ‘the cat’ – played 42 tests and 20 one-day internationals for England.
