Hi there, Cloggyman ... warm welcome to you.
Best to put your query in the forum of Lost Friends or the Sport's ones .. will get a better response. Or better still Nostalgia or Heritage ..
Thank you. But finding it hard to understand the system!
Kindest regards Baz.

Baz It is not beyond possiblity that Accrington Library Local studies have a reference to him from their index of Observer cuttings. This is a very unusual way of spelling his middle name.His surname can also be spelled Cottam. This name arises from a village, Cottam, near Preston.
The heading Cloggyman surely refers to Cottom, who was perhaps a clogger by trade, or gave the bowling some clog when at the crease. Some of our members have read it that you are calling yourself Cloggyman.I think it unlikely that he wore clogs whilst on the turf.
There was a famous cricketer in the 20s called Trumper. This was his surname.
