Ian Gould, David Lloyd, David Millns, Michael Gough and Peter Willey on life in the middle
By Jim Wallace for Wisden Cricket Monthly
Ian Gould: I never had myself down as an umpire. Never! I used to scream and shout at umpires when I played, I was a pain. I was coaching at Middlesex and, once or twice during a second-team game, the umpire was late or ill so I went out and did it and quite enjoyed it. It had never entered my mind before that.
