IRON MAIDEN Singer: Be Cricket Or Be Dead

July 26, 2003

Guardian Unlimited (web site) is reporting that IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson, a qualified pilot with Iceland Express, "flew an English [cricket] team [last weekend] into the capital of cool, Reykjavik. And although cricket is not another of his great talents, he attracted a curious crowd to the team's three games. The visitors, based on London bank EFG, brought a portable 'Flix' pitch with them, which also allowed an impromptu game on a glacier. The 'proper' games were all won by the bankers, restoring authority after a defeat 20 years ago for English visitors by the uppity Icelanders. Like benevolent colonisers of old, the English left their pitch behind."
