Denny was born in April 1964 at Farnborough, Kent. He later studied at Christ Church at the University of Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, Denny made four appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Glamorgan, Leicestershire, Hampshire and the touring Zimbabweans at Oxford in 1985.[2] Denny scored a total of 28 runs in these matches, with a high score of 19.[3]
