I have learned that Stan has left some dosh in his will for some of his Barmy Army cricket friends to spend on visiting a number of overseas cricket grounds, there to scatter his ashes. If they have not visited all the grounds before there are no ashes left, then they are to buy certain local beers and spread those. I am unaware if the beers have to be drunk before this takes place. There is to be a funeral service of remembrance in Accrington in the near future.I am hooping to be there, along with the president of the Accrington Grammar School Old Boys who will be wearing his 'badge of office' - a 1950s school cap. I think Stan would have approved of this.
