    His family moved to Neath when he was very young and he attended Neath Grammar School.

    He first played for Glamorgan whilst still at Neath Grammar.

    He travelled up to Cambridge University in the same train as Brian Thomas. They were both rugby Blues.

    Tony Lewis lived in the house in Harle Street behind ours in Leonard Street. A classy batsman and good captain.

    Glamorgan CCC was formed on this day (6th July 1888) at a meeting in the Angel Hotel, Cardiff.
    Cricket was probably first played in Wales by the end of the 17th century.
    The earliest known occurrence of the game of cricket in the county of Glamorgan is found in a reference to a match at Swansea in 1780.
    The club competed in the Minor Counties Championship for many years and then applied for first-class status after the First World War, playing its inaugural first-class match against Sussex CCC at Cardiff Arms Park on 18, 19 & 20 May 1921, a match that Glamorgan won.

    * Glamorgan County Cricket Club is one of the 18 first class county clubs and the only Welsh one, playing cricket in England and Wales.

    * Glamorgan CCC has won the English County Championship competition 3 times; in 1948, 1969 and 1997.

    * Glamorgan has also beaten all of the major Test playing nations.

    * The club is based in Cardiff and plays most of its home games at Sophia Gardens, however, matches are occasionally played at Swansea, Cresselly and Colwyn Bay.

    * Glamorgan's all-time top run scorer is Alan Jones with 34,056 runs.

    * Glamorgan's all-time top wicket taker is Don Sheppard with 2,174 wickets.
