Zak Crawley can write his own story by facing the Australian fast bowling during the Ashes this summer – but his dad already has an eye-catching tale to tell.
Crawley will open the batting for England’s Test team during the home Ashes series as Ben Stokes ’ side look to put their new ‘Bazball’ style to use in the most famous competition in cricket. While the tall 25-year-old batter is known for his flashing stroke play at the top of the order, his father Terry had a very different reputation.
Terry Crawley was a legend in the City of London during the 1990s. After starting out as a carpet fitter earning around £100-a-week in Bermondsey, Terry turned his hand to financial trading with a firm called Tullett & Tokyo on the London Futures Exchange.
