Hall of Fame
Back in 2020, Lancashire Cricket was proud to launch its Hall of Fame which celebrates and honours leading figures from the Club’s history.
The Red Rose has a rich heritage and following a restructuring of the Former Players Association, to create an improved relationship between the Club and its former players, the Hall of Fame was created to see a number of the counties’ cricketing legends inducted annually.
Inductees will receive a special Lancashire Cricket Hall of Fame cap at an exclusive annual dinner, to recognise the latest inductees. To be inducted into the Hall of Fame, players must be retired and not under current employment with the Club.
In March 2020, A N Hornby, Cyril Washbrook, Brian Statham, Jack Bond, Farokh Engineer, Sir Clive Lloyd CBE and Jack Simmons became the first seven names to enter Lancashire Cricket's Hall of Fame.
They will be followed in November 2021 by David Hughes, Ken Shuttleworth, Peter Lever, J T Tyldesley, Eddie Paynter, A C MacLaren and Johnny Briggs.
In 2022, George Duckworth, Carole Hodges, Neil Fairbrother and David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd will all be inducted into the Hall of Fame - with Hodges set to become the Club’s first female inductee on the evening.
Duckworth (1901-1966) was a wicket-keeper batter who played 424 First-Class matches for the Red Rose from 1923 to 1938 – scoring over 4,000 runs and effecting 925 dismissals with the gloves.
Hodges played for Lancashire Women between 1974 and 1993 as a batter who bowled right-arm off-breaks. She was part of the England team that won the 1993 World Cup and took the first ever Women’s ODI hat-trick in the first game of the tournament, against Denmark.
Fairbrother represented Lancashire for 20 years between 1982 and 2002 – racking up 31,572 runs across First-Class and List A cricket. He captained the Red Rose in ’92 and ’93 and became the first man to play in ten Lord's One-Day Cup finals, finishing on the winning side on seven occasions.
Lloyd had an extensive playing career, with 378 First-Class matches and 277 One Day games for the Red Rose from 1965 to 1983. He scored nearly 26,000 runs and took 272 wickets in his career for Lancashire and collected three consecutive winner's medals for the Gillette Cup in 1970, 1971 and 1972. He later returned to the Club as Head Coach from 1993 to 1995.
