John Hickman

Tue 01 Mar 2022 19:24

We are sad to share the news that John Hickman, passed away peacefully on Saturday (whilst watching the Scotland v France match!). 

He played for Kenilworth for about 10 years from the mid 50s to mid 60s alongside players such as Chris Wheatley. He was the full back and often reminisced about the strong fixture list also including regular trips down to play the Welsh clubs. 

In later life he took pleasure in watching his son Josh Hickman playing for Kenilworth from 2013 also as a full back! 

The funeral will be held on Thurs 24th March @ 11.30am at Oakley Wood Crematorium and then afterwards in Ettington. All are welcome who knew him.
