Neal Victor Radford was born on the 7th of June 1957
He is an English former first-class cricketer
Neal appeared in three Tests and six ODIs for England
Radford was born at Luanshya in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia)
He played domestically for Transvaal, Lancashire, Worcestershire, and Herefordshire
The cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted “Neal Radford took a circuitous route to Test cricket”
Radford was born in Zambia and educated in South Africa, making his first-class debut for Transvaal B in the 1978/79 President’s Cup
However, opportunities in South Africa were limited owing to that country’s isolation from world cricket, and so Radford moved to England and signed for Lancashire in 1980 as an overseas player
His fine form continued into the 1986 season, and he was rewarded with an international call-up for the third Test against India at Edgbaston
Radford’s two brothers, Glen and Wayne, both played domestic first-class cricket in South Africa
