A keen sportsman, Mark’s first love is cricket, followed closely by rugby, squash and real tennis. All of these have given Mark massive satisfaction over the years. Nowadays with the body rebelling, his wife Nicky and daughter Sophie are central to his personal happiness.
Mark’s idea of perfect happiness would be scoring a double century at Lords!
