Who is Errol Stewart?

Errol Leslie Rae Stewart is a former South African cricketer and rugby union player. He attended Westville Boys' High School in Westville, Durban where he was selected for the SA schools cricket and rugby sides. He also was selected for Natal schools for Hockey and athletics. He studied law at the University of Natal and played as a wicket-keeper for the University of Natal and for the Natal Dolphins, captaining them in his final season in 2004.

He played six One Day Internationals in cricket but no Tests for South Africa. He also played Currie Cup Rugby for the Natal Sharks. In 1995 he won the Currie cup with the Natal Sharks rugby team and the Currie cup with the Natal Dolphins cricket side. He is one of only a handful of people to achieve this feat and with the onset of professional sport this achievement is unlikely to be emulated. He played club cricket with Shaun Pollock for the University of Natal and later with English Test cricketer Kevin Pietersen at Berea Rovers in Durban before Pietersen made his controversial move to the UK. Stewart retired from cricket in 2004 and is a lawyer by profession.
