Not the one that I was going for, but related.

My exposé, and I suspect what Brother Westwood was referring to, was that Henry was in the same class as his sister.
He claims that she was a better footballer too.

Surely there can be nobody else famous from Old Hill?

Maybe if we improvise?

Eric Hollies, England test cricketer was born in Old Hill 1912... before my time but I’m sure Ron Moseley will be able to expand 😂

That I didn’t know.

Good to see (greater) Halesowen blokes following the natural progression to play for our local County side.

And to know I enjoyed seeing Eric play for the Worcestershire cricket club, Halesowen CC , probably at the same time as HTFC Trevor Argent 😉🏏🏏🏏

I remember they said in practice sessions, at the Worcestershire club, they said he could drop the ball on the proverbial sixpence
