About Derek Hawkins
Lived 1935 – 2010 (aged 75). Derek Hawkins was a British cricketer.
Derek Graham Hawkins (18 May 1935 – 27 November 2010) was an English first-class cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler who played for Gloucestershire from 1952 to 1962.
Hawkins was born at Alveston, Gloucestershire, and educated at the nearby Thornbury Grammar School. After a two-year break for National Service he became a regular member of the Gloucestershire team, without ever fulfilling his potential. His most productive season was 1961, when he reached 1000 runs in a season for the first time and took his best bowling figures of 6 for 81 against Kent. However, he retired at the end of that season, aged 26, to work in the family car dealership, Berkeley Vale Motors.
Hawkins died at Alveston on 27 November 2010.
