Stuart was a stalwart player for Wellington in the 1970s and 1980s. He was known as a popular captain and accomplished batsman, who also had an eye for a slip catch.

He continued to support the club and Shropshire CCC from the sidelines, both at home and away, after he finished playing.

Cricket was a great passion of Stuart's - second only to his devotion to Telford United FC- and he remained a Vice President of Wellington CC until this day.

Our thoughts are with Judy and Michael at this sad time. We will share details of the funeral on our website in due course.
