The obituary notice of Michael IKIN

I knew Michael when we were teenagers, he was at Newcastle High School and I was at the Orme Girls School. I saw him play cricket for Bignall End many times with Rod Cornes, Bob Furnival etc and he was a fun friend to have. Happy and treasured memories

Thank you Neil for this lovely & most interesting story about a wonderful Cricketer in the North Staffs & South Cheshire League, and even turned out for Marchington.
