Today, we pay tribute to John Heaton, a hugely influential figure in Lancashire schools and junior cricket. His passion, knowledge and commitment helped shape the pathway for generations of players, and his contribution to Lancashire cricket was immense. We remember John with great respect and affection, and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time. Rest in peace John🏏 bit.ly/JohHeaton
