When a team wins a trophy, or has a good day, we quite rightly focus on the players and the coaching staff. But none of them would be able to do their jobs without their support staff, who stay behind the scenes but help a dressing room to function.

After eighteen years at the club, Surrey have lost a man who not only helped their dressing room to function but also kept the players fit and spent hours being their ear to bend.

Alex Tysoe (pictured above, left, with Jade Dernbach and Gareth Batty) arrived at Surrey in 2008 as the young, clean-cut physiotherapist. He leaves as the slightly older and certainly wiser Head of Science and Medicine at the club, and he goes with the respect of every player and coach that has walked through those dressing room doors.
