Joe Fawcett

Joe started playing bridge as a teenager in the eighties and soon had moved out of his parents' house to a flat above the Wolverhampton Bridge Club.

He represented Great Britain juniors with Ian Popplestone and then went on to play a handful of Camrose matches with David Burn and Glyn Liggins.

For some years he worked at many London clubs including Green Street and the London School of Bridge. In 2000 he and Glyn were part of the team that surprised critics to finish fourth in the Olympiad held in Maastricht. He took a break from bridge to raise a family and concentrate on a new career in IT but renewed his partnership with Glyn a few years ago winning the Spring Foursomes shortly after.

He currently plays with Glyn in the Premier League and Gold Cup and his with his wife, Gillian, an England Women's international, in the Tollemache and other county competitions.
