Born Albert John Watkins, he is known as Allan or Al and made his debut for Glamorgan just three weeks after his seventeenth birthday in 1939, as World War II loomed. He was a left-handed batsman, medium to fast left-arm bowler and a brilliant close fielder, particularly at backward short leg (see story 'Cometh the hour, cometh the man' at www. tssonnet. com): a very useful allrounder who played for Marylebone Cricket Club, Glamorgan County Cricket Club, where he is regarded as a cricketing legend, and England. He was the first Glamorgan cricketer to score a century in Test Cricket for England and played at the highest level until 1961, when he was 39 years old. He was voted 'Indian Cricket Cricketer of the Year' in 1951-2. He went on to coach school cricket very successfully, most notably at Oundle school and Framlingham. He also played football for Cardiff City and Plymouth Argyle.
