I'm sure a few will have known Glynn and a few more will have recognised him from games and Bromley Addicks meetings.

I've known Glynn for over 40 years and used to open the batting with him for our cricket club. He also used to take the leg side while I took the off, fielding very close to our quick bowlers! I once took a catch that hit him on his back and ballooned over to my side of the pitch! He even had his name in Wisden, as he scored some runs for Eltham College back in the sixties. I was very grateful for the many times he gave me a lift to and from the games with the club kit in the boot!
On one such return, at night, after a few beers, he performed one of the best bits of driving that I have seen. Steaming around the M25 and coming to the M26 split in the road, we suddenly saw a car slowly turn left across the M25 fast lane having decided way too late that they wanted the M25 and not the M26. Everyone in the car took a very deep breath convinced we would broadside them but Glynn simply drove at their car hoping it kept going. Had they stopped, or if we had braked or changed direction at all, we'd have been goners for sure. Luckily, we missed them by a whisker, before all swearing madly at the idiot driver and his passenger (who also thought he was dead when he saw us coming straight at him!).
He was a lovely gentle man, and will be sorely missed.
He leaves a wife Deniece and son James.
RIP Glynn.11
