Reece Topley was born in Ipswich.
Graham Napier played in goal for our youth team but born in Colchester. |  |

I played against Reece Topley back in the day.
First ball I creamed him for 4, I say creamed but reality is it was probably a massive edge.
Next ball I didn’t even see, clean bowled. |  |

Went to the Royal Hospital School in Holbrook didn't he?
I think Nick Pope was a wicket-keeper in Ely too - bit further afield. |  | | |

Olly Stone is from the land of the cousin fanciers.
Got asked about Ed Sheeran having a squad number at Norwich on the hundred commentary the other day |  |

I didn't know that, saw him play a number of times and went to Rotarian thing a few uears back with my old man where he was a guest at the table for dinner, was a decent bloke, or a very good actor. |  |

I played against Reece Topley quite a few years ago too, in a marvellous little local mini-tournament called the 'Cotton Test Match'. He was only about 14/15 at the time. His team (Chelsea Arts Club) won it but somehow our ragbag of drunks managed to tie our game with them and would have beaten them but for a comedy last ball run out. He had a highly competitive edge even then in a supposedly friendly tournament played on some local lord of the manor's front lawn, but Frostie, our loudest resident drunk, kept yelling 'no-ball' at him from the boundary when he pushed his 8 step maximum run up too far, which was basically every ball, and by the end of it Topley was in tears. Happy days |  | | |

There must be others, going further back
Tom Westley and Tymal Mills were playing for Mildenhall so from slightly further afield
Josh Davey played for Bury and is having a middling county career, I know he wasn't the stand out player at his age group in Suffolk so it's funny how it falls |  |

I played against him in an Inter Firm league for the HMRC vs RHS Staff - he kept coming in off a full run up rather than the 8 step one which was a bit ridiculous there as well | |
