Tributes Flood In for Late Cricket Captain Neil Gamble at Emotional East Sussex Match
Sunday saw a heartfelt tribute at East Dean and Friston Cricket Club as family, friends, and players gathered to honour the late Neil Gamble. The former club captain and local businessman died suddenly in February at just 46.
Remembering a Club Legend
Neil Gamble was more than a player—he was the soul of the club. Past and present players came together for a memorial cricket match celebrating his warmth, generosity, and unwavering dedication to both the team and local community.
“Neil was a man for whom the welfare and support of those at the club were as important and inseparable from the club ethos as the sport itself,” a former colleague said.
Local Business Stalwart
Outside cricket, Neil was a founding partner of Brook Gamble, a thriving estate agency in Eastbourne. His sudden passing has left a big hole not just in sports circles but also across the local business scene.
The outpouring of grief shows just how much Neil Gamble meant to East Sussex—both on and off the pitch.
