GB. Scotland. Edinburgh. Fettes College. Tony BLAIR's school. 1996. The school's cricket pitch. Tony Blair won a place in the school Junior Colts rugby team in his second term, and was captain of the Junior Colts cricket team in the summer term of 1967. His team won seven matches, lost one and drew one. As he grew older, however, rugby and cricket especially as captain of cricket - were too Establishment for him, and he took up the more unconventional sport of basketball, in which he had the advantage of being tall.
