Enfield CC, Lancashire CC, Chairman of Lancs CC, Overseas professional for Tasmania for many years, and brought Tasmania into main stream Aussie Cricket.

Jack (Flat Jack) Simmons came from Clayton-Le-Moors, attended Accrington Secondary Technical School (Ossy Tech) and became famous for his Cricketing prowess. Jack was another success story from the "Tech" where he was initially coached and encouraged by the PE teacher Bob Cunliffe (another nice guy who knew his cricket and his pupils)
A great guy and a credit to Accrington, Jack has never forgotten his roots.
