Changing room chat: Bumble on board at Accrington

SKY cricket commentator David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd has become a director of League 2 side Accrington Stanley.

Lloyd, who played for Accrington in the Lancashire Combination League before his cricket career took off, became a shareholder at his hometown club last year and will join chairman Ilyas Khan, chief executive Rob Heys and directors Peter Marsden and Peter Shaw on the board.

The 64-year-old said: “I am honoured to be a part of the ongoing success of the club. My links with Accrington have never waned.”
