Theo Walcott
 
Theo Walcott the young Arsenal and England footballer has a conection to Accrington. His Grandad Clyde Walcott used to play cricket for Enfield and he lodged with a family in Dill Hall Lane opposite the Cricket Field. He was the Enfield professional in the 1950s. Just thought you would like to know.

Thanks for that Jim, didn't know that about young Theo, can remember Clyde Walcott, also Everton Weeks and Frank Worrell or the three 'Ws' as they were known. The Lancs League has had some great Professionals down the years, Wes Hall at Accy, Viv Richards and Michael Holding at Rishton, Bobby Simpson at Enfield, and lets not forget that Shane Warne sawed his wild oats in Accy before he became world famous

No wish to be pedantic Jaysay,but Bobby Simpson was the professional at Accrington not Enfield.

It was the first season I started watching cricket 1959. I think am right he still holds the clubs batting record.

Off course he was Bernard, silly me, so who was the long serving pro at Enfield, ah just remembered Conrad Hunt. Im just trying to remember the name of the spinner who played for Rishton, he was English:confused::confused::confused:

Ya I realise that Roy, but was more or less thinking about Pros from the Hyndburn clubs, just mentioned the three W but only one played in this area. I mean other players in the whole league the were players such as Alan Boarder at EL Roy Gilchrist at Bacup, Azary at Rawtenstall Constantine at Nelson, and probably one of the best bowlers I've ever seen was Chester Watson who pro'd for Church in the early 60 he had some of the most incredible figured ever seen in the league, 7 or 8 for very few was common place. I actually saw Garfield Sobers when he made his one and only appearance in the LL he sub pro'd for Church round 61/62 he had 6 for 30 odd and 49 with the bat, was given out LBW 4 inch above the top of his pads,the Umpire robbed us of a great afternoons entertainment

You must have seen him play Bernard. I am sure he played for Nelson before Rishton. Same period as Wes Hall at Accy.

You are probably right Jeff. I don't recall seeing him play, but that probably says more about my memory.

I recall the period Wes Hall played for Acc quite well. I saw him take all ten wickets at one match. I think he may have done that a couple times.

Probably not related actually...

Theo who? I've never heard of this other Walcott, says Sir Clyde - Telegraph

Came across this thread in connection with the Enfield CC thread which has been active today.

I think you're looking for Freddie Frear 9 for 3 against Enfield
Then there was Datu Phadcar, Ray Lindwall, Des Fothersgill, Bill Alley Keith Miller.

Others that come to mind are Fred Hartley Church he threw the ball up in the air to the batsman as if saying come on hit it,not many did.
Another from Church Polly Umrigar, Accy v Church when they painted the score on the wall on Blackburn rd in front of the res.
Ces Pepper Burnley finished as a umpire bet he gave the players a blasting
Johnny Wardle Nelson ex Yorkshire
Keith Barker Enfield another West Indian

One of the best pros I saw in the Lancs League was Chester Watson, was Churches Pro around 1960 think that was the last time Church won the league with Watson as pro his bowling figures that season were unbelievable 9-7 8-6 every week, most clean bowled to, seem to think he settled in Manchester, can never understand why he didn't play more for the West Indies
