Last month, one of Harry Gurney’s worst nightmares became a reality.
The Tap & Run pub in Melton Mowbray, owned by former England international cricketer Gurney and legendary bowler Stuart Broad, was seriously damaged by a devastating fire. The roof was destroyed, while the interior of the building was also torched. Thankfully no one was injured.
“It was about 3:30 in the morning when my phone rang,” Gurney tells Mirror Sport . “It was the general manager Jack and he just said: ‘Harry, someone’s rung me in the village to say the Tap’s on fire ’. I swore, jumped out of bed, got dressed, got in the car and headed over.
