Message from John Gallant, Two Counties Seniors Manager
It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of our friend Alan Burt after illness. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
Burty was one of life’s true gentlemen; he always maintained the highest standards of honesty, integrity and fairness in everything he did. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know him and share in his sense of humour and fun.. He was very proud of his Lancastrian roots and was an ardent supporter of Manchester City.
He played cricket for Sudbourne Hall, Suffolk Seniors and The Two Counties Seniors. He was a very clever bowler who took countless wickets with his subtle variations of spin and pace always from a most accurate line and length. He toured Barbados and Dubai amongst others and was an ideal tourist and companion.
The world of cricket and life generally will be much poorer for his loss. A very sad time.
John
