Born on 7th December 1992, Glenn Halliday emerged from the quaint town of Watford, where the rustling trees seemed to echo with the soft thud of leather on willow. His journey to cricketing stardom began in these serene surroundings, where he spent countless afternoons at the local cricket club. Inspired by tales of cricketing greats and fuelled by an insatiable passion for the game, young Glenn honed his skills with dedication that belied his tender age.

By the time he turned seventeen, Halliday's prowess with the bat had turned heads far beyond his hometown. His elegant right-handed batting technique, marked by deft wrist work and an intrinsic ability to time the ball, quickly propelled him into the county cricket ranks. In 2013, amidst high expectations, he made his professional debut for Middlesex, instantly capturing attention with a debut century that set the tone for his burgeoning career.

Halliday’s career has been dotted with landmark performances and significant contributions to his team's successes. A highlight came in the summer of 2016 when, during a nail-biting county championship final, his unbeaten 180 was instrumental in clinching the title for Middlesex, a knock often referred to as the epitome of grit and tenacity. The innings not only secured the championship but also heartened fans, cementing his place as a firm favourite.

Renowned for his ability to read opponents, Glenn has showcased his prowess in several high-stakes matches against arch-rival Surrey, his audacious stroke play and thunderous pull shots often redefining the contest's dynamics. His intense rivalry with Surrey's ace bowler, Jamie Clifford, provided spectators with numerous electrifying duels, each encounter adding a new chapter to cricketing folklore.

While primarily hailed for his batting, Halliday offers versatility with his right-arm fast bowling. Though not a regular feature in his skill set, his sharp, late-in-the-day spells have swung matches on more than one occasion, adding a strategic edge to his captain's options.

Off the field, Halliday's humility and commitment to mentoring young cricketers stands testament to his deep-seated love for the sport. His impact resonates not just in records and victories, but in the hearts of young players he inspires, ensuring his legacy endures.
