Everyone connected with Forfarshire Cricket Club is saddened to hear today of the passing of Brian Wilson.
Brian was a multi-talented sportsman who played many sports including tennis, golf, table tennis and of course cricket. Brian played for Forfarshire for a number of years and was a highly successful captain of Forthill 2nd XI, leading that team to league and cup victories in the 80's.
He was instrumental in the development of many players and was a huge influence on and off the field. Brian continued to support the club when he stopped playing - and was regularly seen at home games at all levels and never stopped supporting and encouraging everyone connected with the club.
His presence will be sadly missed and our thoughts are with his wife Olive, daughter Nikki, and grandchildren Lewis and Kirsten.
