Alan Brown, who bowled Kent to a county championship triumph and also starred in local non-league football, has died at the age of 90.
Kent cricket is in mourning after the death of Alan Brown, the former seamer who helped the county win a championship title. He was 90.
Brown was a dependable presence with the ball during his career at Kent, the kind of bowler captains trusted to hold an end, build pressure and shape the rhythm of a game. His contribution to a title-winning side secured his place in the club's history.
His talents were not limited to the cricket field. Brown was also a well-known non-league footballer in his local area, balancing two sports in an era when many players split their summers and winters between them.
Tributes are expected to follow from across the Kent cricket community, where Brown's name will be remembered as part of a championship-winning generation. Afroballers sends condolences to his family, friends and former teammates.
