The podcast was delighted to be on the spot when family, friends, and former teammates came to see the Hugh Morris National Cricket Centre being unveiled at Sophia Gardens.

Among the crowd were Matthew Maynard and Alec Stewart who both spoke to us about their love and admiration for Hugh.

Presented by Greg Lewis.

*This is, hopefully, the first in a series of special tributes to Hugh Morris covering his early days at Blundells School, his time as a player with Glamorgan and his time with England and Glamorgan as an administrator.

The Museum of Welsh Cricket now has a Hugh Morris Memorial Cabinet which can be seen here:
