England vs New Zealand umpire Garth Stirrat, 51, was a secret porn star whose X-rated work got him sacked from golf job
THE man in charge of the balls in the third T20 match against New Zealand used to indulge in a bit of umpy-pumpy.
Fourth umpire Garth Stirrat was once a porn star and was sacked from a top job in golf when his secret life was discovered.
Now the 51-year-old has built a successful career as an umpire.
He was on duty in England’s 14-run defeat to the Kiwis in Nelson on Tuesday.
One of the fourth official’s tasks is to bring out a case of balls if one is lost or goes out of shape.
Stirrat has stood as a main umpire in women’s international matches.
He was fired as chief executive of the New Zealand Professional Golfers’ Association ten years ago.
