Not "Puss" Achong is it?
That brings back memories for me.
When organized cricket competition was revived in England following the end of WW2 I became an avid Lancashire League fan. I followed Burnley, attending all of their matches -- home and away. Our professional in 1945 and 1946 was Ellis Achong -- the West Indies Test left arm slow bowler. He had a great reputation in international cricket. It was said that the "Chinaman" was named after him (he was of Chinese extraction) after he had developed the "left hand googly" (I wonder if that is really true?). Achong was a fine gentleman but not a particularly good batsman.
In one away match at Todmorden Achong took all ten wickets. One of his victims was Eddie Paynter, the former England Test and Lancashire left hand batsman who was playing as an amateur for Todmorden that day (he also played as an amateur for Enfield later). Eddie didn't score many runs in fact I recollect he had a short at bat. Anyway, I got to shake Eddie Paynter's hand that day after the match -- a thrill for me for he was a hero of mine and I had watched him bat for England in 1938 and on several occasions for Lancashire. Meeting Eddie Paynter was the highlight of the day for me rather than Achong's ten wickets!
