donated £260 in memory of James
After putting on a wonderful memorial cricket game for Jim, a Long serving member of the club, Caddington Cricket Club raised £260 through fees and donations. They kindly requested it be donated to Jim’s favourite charity, Sparklers at Keech Hospice. Glad this will be an annual event.

Jim, I'll focus on the Luton times we shared. 'The' Valois goal, winning the league in '05, away at Everton in the cup, angry fat Welsh bloke, away at the scum with Pat, Perugia in the Anglo Italian cup in 95, winning at Palace and Leicester when we came up, late winners at home vs Hull by Brko and away at Bournemouth by Enoch. Great times. I'll always remember being terrified by "If you get onions in my burger, I'll punch you in the face". What are older brothers for? I'll always miss you and love you mate. PS, sorry for elbowing you in the head during the celebrations of the Brko goal vs Hull in '05!

I’ve pretty much known Jim all of my life
I’m best mates with his sister, aka my wife!
So many memories were made in Red Rails
I’m just not sure I’m allowed to tell the tales!
It wasn’t until I was much older that I kinda got to know him
There was a bit of an age gap and he didn’t drink gin
But as Ange and I grew ‘up’, I got to know him more
This man would not care if you were rich or poor
Some people just have a genuine heart that never ever fades
And Jim had this in absolute spades
He gave loads of himself in caring for others
Credit to his Mum..who’s the Mum of all Mothers!!
My greatest memory of Jim was Thailand ninety ninety nine
Trust me, that holiday deserves its very own rhyme!
There are many stories I could tell but I’ll keep this one short
Just 4 words really, “Jim, where’s your passport??!!”!
My final words really are that he should be an inspiration to us all
And we should all do good, whether it be big or small
My heart goes out to Winnie, Tommy, Ange and Ween
Sending all our love, Erin, Con and Teen. xxxxxxxxxxx

2008 Champions where Jim's bowling was a vital contribution in gaining promotion
Jim, as a friend and team mate for 15 years I'll miss not only sharing a pitch with you, but your helpful advise and witty sense of humour. Everyone at Caddington CC will miss you.. Me & my wife especially. Rip mate.. Keep bowling those dot balls!
A photo of Jim in our younger days celebrating an evening out. Happy days and always great company as we danced the night away to the early hours of the morning.
This is how I remember Jim. Always dancing even though he had two left feet and would have the standard both arms in the air waving around. In fact we all as a group of friends danced in the same way. Everyone would leave the dance floor when we got up!
On my last day in the UK in November 2019 I took this last picture of Jim and I before leaving Luton and heading to Gatwick to go home to Australia. Took this picture in the morning just before the taxi came. It was great to see Jim and he was so happy.
