One Last Hurrah – an Evening with Jeff Thomson

Jeff Thomson

An evening of great food and even better stories from Ashes cricket legend Jeff Thomson – don’t miss out on the final opportunity to see Thommo in the UK.

Jeff Thomson is the legendary Australian fast bowler who gave England’s batsmen a nightmare experience nearly 50 years ago.

Using an unusual slingshot action, Thomson bowled at around 100mph and caused havoc in the 1974-75 Ashes series, taking 33 wickets in five games.

He is generally acknowledged as one of the fastest bowlers in the history of the game and formed a fearsome partnership with fellow paceman Dennis Lillee.

Since retiring from playing, Thomson has become a speaker and broadcaster – and his wit is as quick as his bowling.

England are hosting Australia in another Ashes series this year and Thomson is coming over from Australia to watch and comment on the games.

Chesterfield Cricket Club are welcoming Thomson to their Queen’s Park ground on the evening of Friday, June 16 2023.

“One Last Hurrah” will be staged in a marquee during the Park’s annual BRM Solicitors Chesterfield Festival of Cricket.

The evening will be hosted by Warwickshire and former Durham pace bowler Chris Rushworth and Jonny Hayes of the Length Does Matter podcast.

Individual tickets, including a two-course meal, are £60 with corporate tables of 10 available for £600.

To book tickets, email nigel@chesterfieldcricketclub.co.uk or call 07930 327207.
