Colin Price played most of his cricket in the Birmingham League for Aston Unity Cricket Club, but his most remarkable and memorable achievement was becoming the first ever amateur cricketer in the history of the Birmingham League (the oldest organised cricket league in the world) to score more than 1,000 runs in a season, scoring 1093 runs, reaching this feat in the same year as professional Australian test cricketer Graham Yallop, and at the time of writing only 10 other players have ever managed this accolade.
Price also captained the league winning side of 1977, where he both provided top order batting and unusually captained the side from the wicket keeping field position.
