Torquay CC are sad to announce the passing of their former pace bowler from the 1970s, Alan Smith.
After hanging up his bowling boots, Alan spent several years on the DCL Umpires Panel – sight issues sadly cut his second cricketing career short (his son, Mike though has kept the family tradition alive).
Our condolences to all his family, several of whom surfaced at various clubs in the Bay – as a youngster his son Steve also had a stint at the Rec (two generations overlapping) before moving on.
