- Leicester CCC
The YCB are saddened to learn that Mike Turner MBE has recently passed away. Mike had a long and distinguished association with Leicestershire CCC as a player, club secretary and latterly as Chief Executive covering 47 years, during which he signed Raymond Illingworth and the young David Gower. He was also a very well-known and a highly respected figure within the recreational game and had served ECB in a consultancy role since 1997.
He gave much support to the Board, in particular to Andrew Watson, with the first round of Community Club Development Funding in 2003 where he supported 26 Yorkshire clubs in gaining facility upgrades. Andrew and Mike remained firm friends.
We send our sincere condolences to Mike’s family.
