All at Greenmount Cricket Club were saddened to hear the recent news of the death of Mr John Heaton.
John’s family have had a strong connection with the club for around 40 years with his wife Eileen acting as club secretary and his son Philip and now grandson Tom both playing successful first team cricket with the club.
He was heavily involved with junior cricket at a county level and in 2012 he published a book – “Who’d Have Thowt It” – about the history of Lancashire Schools Cricket Association and his involvement with it.
He played cricket for Radcliffe CC and was a well-respected teacher locally at Radcliffe and Tottington High Schools.
Our thoughts are with all of John’s family at this sad time.
His funeral will be at East Lancashire Crematorium, Radcliffe at 10.30am this Friday (28th August) followed by a gathering at the Log Cabin.
