Australian legendary all-rounder Alan Davidson was honoured by Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) after his name was immortalised when the stadium named the member’s entry gate after him.
Davidson has served as a long-time president of the New South Wales Cricket Association and SCG trust. The 85-year old had one of his greatest feats at the ground commemorated on the plaque that was unveiled last week.
