Is that Silkys dad?
Big loss to local cricket. Les was a great bloke and one of those extremely dedicated people that all clubs need.

Dad to Ian who is 2nd team captain at Murton and Alison who plays for the county ladies.
Funeral is taking place on Wednesday 10 December at 11am in Murton - Les had made it known that wearing black was purely optional.
In addition to being a stalwart in the running of Murton Cricket Club Les was heavily (no pun intended) involved in the running of the now defunct Murton and Seaham Monday night darts and dominoes league before its amalgamation into the Seaham Charity League. He was a regular player for the Cricket Club and then the Victoria Club and him and Ian always insisted on driving the players to away venues to save on transport costs for the club.
Failing health over the last 2 years saw him take a back seat to focus on his treatment until his passing this week.
RIP big man.

RIP Les a great bloke with a big heart and loved Murton CC. Had some great times when I was there and Les was chairman. Hope to make it Weds morn to pay my respects.
I may be wrong Les, not sure if Les Graham worked at Sunderland hospital. It's possible it may be another Les, if so I may know who you are talking about as another Les (one of my best mates dad) worked at hospital and died very recently. Another great bloke. RIP

Not many people in Murton who didn't have a good word for Les for what he did for the cricket club - quiz nights, talk-ins, volunteer work etc. Big miss in many ways.

Had a great generosity for the cricket club. Organised everything in one way or another. The players and members are grateful to him. Always remembered.
