Starsign Scorpio
Home Kingston, Jamaica, & Bristol, England and a lot of time in transit on planes and in hotels!
Parents Eric and Joan
Children Courtney has a son, also called Courtney but known as Junior, and a daughter, Chris. Found out about this from an in depth article on the web at:-
EducationExcelsior High School, Melrose
Hobbies and Interests Reading (favourite authors include Jeffrey Archer, Robert Ludlam, Wilbur Smith), swimming, listening to music, on the beach, and watching sport on TV
Music Tastes Courtney is a BIG Bob Marley fan, also likes reggae in general, and slow soul.
Favourite food Home cooked food, Chinese, and Indian (Hey Courtney, I make a good Sweet and Sour!)
Favourite Drink Baileys, soft drinks (No- not Jamaican rum!!)
Car Mercedes. Courtney apparently loves cars, which may be why Jack Russell teases him about having the smallest car in Jamaica which would look good on Jack's scalextric track!
Tastes in clothes Prefers casual, jeans and t-shirts (but he always manages to look smart in them!)
Other sports followed Horse racing, Basketball, Football, Athletics
Nicknames Mark, cuddy, shorty, tall boy, CW, RP, Walshy, and his Gloucestershire team mates call him Duracell- because he keeps on going. Could this be the Wisden record for the most nicknames a player has?
Career outside Cricket Courtney owns a sports equipment shop in Kingston, Jamaica
All these facts have appeared in either cricket magazines, or in Courtney's benefit brochures, or in press/web articles. Courtney is a very private person, after all when someone lives a lot of their life in the public eye, they need privacy. So out of respect for this, the bulk of this site is devoted to Courtney's cricketing career.
