It is with great sadness
that we record the passing of Alan Coote on 12 th November 2007. Alan
had cancer and suffered a relatively short but painful illness.He
was a real gentleman and we shall miss him greatly.
Alan played cricket for
Llantwit Fardre between 1974 and 1985 and was a batsman of the highest
calibre. During that time he scored more than 5000 runs at the superb
average of 27,47 (exceptional in club cricket).His innings of 171 not
out against Cwmbran is the highest for the club and he took part in the
record opening stand of 234 being undefeated on 110.
Not only was he an
exceptional character and a fun guy to be with. His rendition of ' Fanny
Galore' always went down well in the after match festivities.
Our
thoughts are with his wife Carole and his family.
