Some Famous People called Matthew Brimson

Matthew Brimson

Matthew Thomas Brimson (born 1 December 1970) is a former English cricketer who gained notoriety by exposing himself in a team photograph that was published in the 2000 Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.

Brimson was a Slow Left Arm Orthodox bowler who played for Kent, and then Leicestershire, in the English County Cricket Competition. Only moderately successful as a professional cricketer, in 1999 Brimson was apparently frustrated at the management of the Leicestershire county cricket club. When a series of team photographs were taken for the official Wisden almanack, Brimson decided to expose himself for one of the photos. Unluckily for Wisden, the photo that they picked was the offending photograph.

Brimson explained his actions as merely a prank that went wrong, and apologised quickly when his actions were discovered. His relations with the Leicestershire club never recovered, and he retired from professional cricket soon afterwards.

The discovery of Brimson's actions caused a furore throughout the cricketing world at the time. Wisden, one of Cricket's oldest established institutions and an expression of the sport's "traditional" side, was embarrassed that the gaffe was not noticed before publication. The photograph of a sportsman exposing himself in the pages of one of the world's most "proper" publications was a source of much mirth.

Brimson played for North Devon Cricket Club, and works as a geography teacher/head of sixth form as well as coaching hockey/cricket for West Buckland School.

The offending photograph can be found on page 657 of the 2000 Wisden Almanack.
