Don Kenyon was a 'leader of champions and a champion of leaders'
for good reason: he was his own man. Known as 'Braddy' at school -
like Don Bradman - he would bat for long periods without getting
out. He holds the record as the youngest player to score a century
in the Birmingham League First Division. For nineteen seasons he
scored over 1,000 runs and captained Worcestershire's first
championship-winning side in 1964 (retaining the title in its
centenary year of 1965). On retirement, he was president of
Worcestershire for three years, which coincided with the return of
the glory years in the late 1980s, when the likes of Ian Botham and
Graeme Hick were in their pomp. It was in the 'Kenyon Room' at
Worcester - named after him - where he died in 1996 just as he was
about to show a video of Worcestershire's World Tour from 1965. Don
Kenyon: His Own Man celebrates the life of the county's most iconic
cricket player.
