Eric was a second grade and Presidents grade stalwart and took approximately 2000 wickets between the early 1970s and the mid-to-late 2000s with his left arm spin and command of line and length.
This Presidents photo was taken in 2007. Eric is in the blue tracksuit.
The club offers its sincerest condolences to Eric’s family.
