Punchy's Hampshire Years by Alan Rayment

Punchy's Hampshire Years by Alan Rayment

The story of Alan Rayment's ten years (1949-58) as a Hampshire cricketer and ballroom dancer, the two careers ending as the result of an extraordinary spiritual experience. The book, unfinished at the time of Alan Rayment's death in 2020, has been completed by cricket author Stephen Chalke.

Alan ‘Punchy’ Rayment was born in North London in May 1928. A free-scoring batsman and brilliant fielder, he played for Hampshire from 1949 to 1958. Encouraged to improve his footwork by learning ballroom dancing, he developed a second talent. In Southampton, together with his wife Betty, he ran dance classes, performed at events and managed a highly popular ballroom in the city centre. A profound religious experience led to his abandoning cricket and dance. He trained and worked as a community worker, then travelled overseas in search of spiritual enlightenment. Returning to England in his sixties, he embarked on a project to tell the story of his life. He died in October 2020.
