A statement from Hailsham Cricket Club read: “Although Glenn was only a member of Hailsham Cricket Club for a few years, his passion for the sport and his Aussie personality made a huge impact.

“Glenn made a massive contribution to the club both as a player, committee member, donor and sponsor. He was so supportive of the club and truly wanted us to succeed.

“Most recently he donated his considerable time and skill to design the new pavilion and steer it through the planning process.”

Glenn was born in rural Victoria, Australia. His dad was a keen cricketer and cricket coach. He grew up surrounded by cricketers and cricket talk. He came to the UK in 1984 and his wife Liz described him as ‘not fitting any of the English boxes.’ He was very forthright and outspoken.
