We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bryan Hart.
Our thoughts and sincere condolences from everyone at Chingford CC go out to all the Hart family at this extremely difficult time.
Bryan was one of the greatest fast bowlers to ever wear the Chingford shirt and it was a familiar sight in the 60s and 70s to watch him bowling over after over down the hill at the Kimberley Way end. Bryan represented the Club between 1956 and 1982 capturing 883 wickets, the vast majority of which were at 1st xi level and the 10th highest total in Club History. Bryan was 1st xi Captain in 1977 and also did a spell as Vice-President in the 1980s. A truly Chingford All Time Great.
Bryan wrapped up his career in the 1980s representing Essex Over 50s and I know he had many fond memories of his time with the County Vets.
Bryan was also actively involved in our sister Club, The Chinghoppers and was President of the Hoppers in 1986 and a Life Vice President to this day.
The funeral will take place at City of London Crematorium on Tue 19 Feb at 2pm. The family have requested sports ties but no black ties, no flowers and donations to Chance To Shine Charity please. Refreshments will be served at Chingford Cricket Club afterwards.
