Chris was a contemporary of Giles Toogood and played many games of cricket for Barnt Green and captained the 2nd team. Chris also helped in the construction of the club's scorebox.
During the close season Chris would play rugby at Woodrush and tragically it was whilst playing in a vets game to celebrate Woodrush RFC’s 50th anniversary that he suffered a fatal heart attack.
Chris is survived by his partner Jackie & children Charlotte, Will and Emma.
