I am so sad to hear of the passing of Hugh, who was my grandparents neighbour. I have many fond memories of us going to watch 'the Swans' at the liberty and getting autographs at the training ground at Llandarcy. He was ways so generous and kind to me growing up.

So sad to hear that Hugh had passed away, a true legend of sport and his love for the Swansea City , Man City and Cricket. I spent many happy hours with Hugh and his knowledge of both games was immense. I shall miss him. RIP Hugh God Bless

Hugh was a true gentleman who will be missed by his many friends in the cricket community. A most generous man and always ready for a conversation on all matters.
As a family we will always have fond memories of a dear friend.
