Twelve is a magic number – there were twelve Apostles of course and twelve Gods of the Greek Pantheon – and now twelve Legends of Kent cricket are to be commemorated in the redevelopment of the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury. It’s a nice idea – each of those chosen will have a permanent tribute in stone in the “Walkway” of the new home of Kent cricket. Quite how the 12 will be chosen isn't clear at this stage but as a member of the County for more than 40 years I hope that along with other members I will be in the loop somewhere. Let’s have a first go a putting a list together for others perhaps to comment on. I’ll just list the twelve name that I would select without explanation and see if other Kent aficionados would challenge my choices. So here goes (in no particular order):
- FRANK WOOLLEY
- COLIN BLYTHE
- TICH FREEMAN
- LES AMES
- GODFREY EVANS
- COLIN COWDREY
- ALAN KNOTT
- DEREK UNDERWOOD
- MIKE DENNESS
- BRIAN LUCKHURST
- JOHN SHEPHERD
- ROB KEY
What do you think?
