Hall of Fame: 2023
Third Lancashire Cricket Hall of Fame Celebratory Dinner to take place in February
It will be another historic evening in the 1864 Suite at Emirates Old Trafford on Friday 24 February 2023 as four former Lancashire players join Lancashire Cricket’s Hall of Fame.
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.
They will join the already 14-strong Hall of Fame, which celebrates and honours leading figures from the Club’s much-celebrated history.
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.
All inductees, or their invited family members, will be presented with a commemorative Lancashire Cricket Hall of Fame cap at the exclusive event at Emirates Old Trafford.
