Tributes paid to legendary Fylde coast cricket president after death
“A former Chairman, Captain, Umpire and Coach, Trevor positively impacted the lives of so many current and former members of TCCC as well as those in the wider cricketing community.”
Thornton Cleveleys Cricket Club has paid tribute to their ‘beloved’ Club President who has sadly passed away.
Trevor Wilde, President of Thornton Cleveleys Cricket Club, passed away yesterday morning. A hugely respected figure in local cricket, Trevor was awarded the MHA Achievement Award in 2009 for his “distinguished service to clubs and the competition”, before having a trophy named in his honour.
Announcing the sad news on Thursday, Thornton Cleveleys Cricket Club said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that our beloved Club President, Trevor Wilde, passed away yesterday morning.
“A former Chairman, Captain, Umpire and Coach, Trevor positively impacted the lives of so many current and former members of TCCC as well as those in the wider cricketing community.
“In recent years, you could always find Trevor down at the Illawalla on a Sunday morning handing out cups of tea to coaches, offering pearls of wisdom to Junior Cricketers, and collecting two bacon sandwiches to take home for himself and his wife Joan.
“Trevor leaves a lasting legacy at the Illawalla which will help inspire countless youngsters on their cricketing journeys to come, and he will be sorely missed by anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. The thoughts of everyone at TCCC are with Joan and all of Trevor's loved ones at this time.”
