TREVOR Williamson doesn’t understand why his running style attracts so much attention.
But ‘Twinkles’, the president of the Pakenham Cricket Club, has always been told he has a twinkle in his toes.
“It’s the way I run,” Trevor explains.
“I have always run on the balls of my feet, I think it’s a bit different to the way most other people do.”
But doesn’t everyone run on the front half of his or her feet?
“I think I actually push off from the very tip of my toes, it must look unusual,” Twinkles admits.
Trevor said it was former Pakenham Cricket Club president Bernie Gramc who coined his nickname life sentence.
“It was about five or six years ago, Twinkles has been around for a while now,” he said.
The 32yearold works for Ridley AgriProducts (Barastoc) in Pakenham and said a few of his colleagues get a laugh out of his nickname.
“It’s starting to spread, it’s a bit of fun,” he said.
It was no surprise that Trevor was in full twinkle last weekend when his club hosted the West Gippsland Cricket Association A Grade grand final between Beaconsfield and Officer.
There was plenty of running around to do in between filling the bar and cooking the spit roast.
The people of Pakenham definitely had the chance to share an inkling of Trevor’s twinkling.
