About Eddie Legard
Lived 1935 – 2020 (aged 84). Eddie Legard was a British cricketer.
Edwin "Eddie" Legard (23 August 1935 – 29 January 2020) was an English cricketer who played in 20 first-class cricket matches for Warwickshire between 1962 and 1968. He was born in Barnsley, Yorkshire.
Legard was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a wicketkeeper. He played for Yorkshire's second eleven in both the Minor Counties and Second Eleven Championship competitions between 1954 and 1959, winning the Minor Counties Championship in both 1957 and 1958. In the mid-1960s, however, Legard was unable to displace Smith from the regular first team as wicketkeeper, and after the 1964 season his appearances over the remaining four years that he was on the Warwickshire staff were confined to non-Championship matches; of his 20 first-class games in all, only four were in the Championship.
