On behalf of everyone at Dinting CC just wanted to send heartfelt sympathy to Neal's family, and everyone at Mottram CC. Neal always played the game with a smile on his face, but at the same time he always wanted to win. I managed our Under 11s against Mottram last season and he was just the same with the lads. He was a real gent and will be sadly missed.

My daughter Lizzie and I have just returned from Neal's funeral, my heartfelt condolences go to Debbie, her boys and also to Neal's mother, father and sister. I will remember Neal as a very warm, happy smiley gentleman. It's hard to imagine how cruel life can be, but the memories he left behind for so many people will be of some comfort to Debbie, she must be a very proud woman, of that I am sure.

I just wanted to add to the appreciations of Neal which I have seen on the site and heard today at the funeral. I first met Neal when he joined Barclays over 27 years ago and he remained a firm friend who always brought a smile and a laugh to any conversation. He was a great character who loved life but also knew how to do things right both on the field of play and off it. As well as being a Mottram cricket man through and through he also played for a couple of seasons at my club (Flowery Field) and everyone who remembers him from that time in the late seventies (club pro Fred Bonsall, skipper Chris Dooling, player Brian Robinson and many others) universally remember him with affection and are so sad at his passing. My thoughts are with Debbie, Sam, Matthew and also Neal's close and extended families and I know he has left a warm legacy with Mottram Cricket Club that will be remembered for ever.

Can I send my condolences to Neals family and to Mottram Cricket Club on the death of a friend

Just wanted to say how sad I am at the news of Neil, first met him as an opponent at Haughton Green 2nds in the late ‘70s, then had many great battles with him as batsman, occasional bowler and skipper of Mottram. New him through work at Barclays too, always a man of conviction, always a gentleman in play and work, too early Neil, far too early!

Thoughts are with Debbie and family

What a man, what a cricketer, what an absolute legend. Probably the best pound for pound cricketer that I have ever played with. Fazza was my father figure when I was in the UK and also a fantastic mate, he took me under his wing when I was struggling a bit which shows his care for others, ill never forget his usual quote to me, ”Dannel its your round” . Although I knew him only a short period compared to other club people, I felt I knew him my whole life. His performances last season to reach down to the bottom of the deep, deep pit and drag the rest of us out was absolutely inspirational. If I learnt anything from Fazz it would be to make the best of what you’ve got and giving up in any situation is not an option. The Motty slobs will take the field again and again, there will always be 12 guys taking the field.
