"BRING MUMBY ON!" That's a chant that's been heard at Brigg cricket and football matches for more years than we care to remember.  Here's veteran Col Mumby, now well into his 60s, but still fit enough to answer the call to play in summer or winter matches, as and when required. He was only a spectator at yesterday's game, but if Briggensians are ever short of a man they know where he lives!
