Mike Fisher, nicknamed ‘Ninja’, 91, plays cricket for his local team every week, and plays as a striker for his local football team three times a week – bagging plenty of goals.
Mike averages around eight runs a game and has vowed to carry on playing for as long as he can.
The grandfather-of-two rekindled his love of the game aged 87 after arranging a cricket match with friends for a dementia charity.
They enjoyed it so much that the group carried on playing and we now get together at Manor Farm Community Association in Rushall each week.
Mike says he’s the oldest batter by a long way playing against opponents 20 years younger than him…
“The secret is just to enjoy myself. If I wasn’t doing these sports I would be sitting down falling to pieces like most people my age, why would I want that?”
