Hi, my dad knew Cricket well, he used to run the night trunk down to Romford and change over with my dad. I met him a couple of times, I seem to remember he was quite a short bloke (?) I’m sorry to hear he passed away, I’ll let my dad know. I’ll see if I can find out any stories for you. Condolences to you and your family
