Alan Brown Cricketer
Alan Brown (born 23 December 1957) is a former English cricketer who played one first-class and one List A match for Worcestershire in 1979. He was born in Darwen, Lancashire. His first-team career lasted a mere four days: his only first-class match was a three-day affair against Oxford University, and on the Sunday that fell between the first and second days of that game he appeared in a John Player League match against Middlesex. Worcestershire declared twice against the students and were not bowled out against Middlesex, so Brown did not get a bat. He did, however, hold five catches over the two games. Brown played for several years (1976–1979) at Second XI level, making two half-centuries in 49 innings. He also played one minor game against Ireland in 1979.
