The Legends of Kent cricket

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):

 

  1. FRANK WOOLLEY
  2. COLIN BLYTHE
  3. TICH FREEMAN
  4. LES AMES
  5. GODFREY EVANS
  6. COLIN COWDREY
  7. ALAN KNOTT
  8. DEREK UNDERWOOD
  9. MIKE DENNESS
  10. BRIAN LUCKHURST
  11. JOHN SHEPHERD
  12. ROB KEY

 

What do you think?
