Vale Clyde White

It comes with great sadness to learn today of the recent passing of Sunbury Cricket Club past player and Hall of Fame member Clyde White.

Clyde was a true character of not only our club but of the Sunbury sporting community having involvement at Sunbury Football Club as a premiership player, a formation member of Sunbury Centrals Cricket Club (currently Sunbury United) and in latter years the Sunbury Macedon Ranges Veterans Cricket Club.

SCC club greats during 150th celebrations, L-R: Ray Lethlean, Paul McMahon, Doug Smith and Clyde White.

At Sunbury CC, Clyde Captained the 1969/70 1st XI winning Premiership team and was inducted into the SCC Hall of Fame in 2018 during our clubs 150th celebrations. Clyde kindly donated his playing cap where it can be viewed in the glass display cabinets in the McMahon Pavilion.

If it were not for the assistance of Clyde in contacting past players for the 150th celebratory function it would not have been the great success it was.

I have personally known Clyde over many decades, his love for telling a good story in good humour and his passion for our great game will be sadly missed. Our condolences to Veronica and his extended family and friends.

Yours in cricket,

Marty Kelders.
