"Fanny Walden, the former international footballer
and Northamptonshire professional cricketer, was fined 10s at
Wellingborough on Friday for using his car when not licensed to drive. The
Magistrate: Playing football and cricket is evidently a safer pursuit for
you than driving a motor car." - The Daily Mail, Saturday, 21
September 1929.
"Incidents regarding the alleged taking of
a motor-car belonging to Fanny Walden by two cricketers were related
during the hearing of a case which came before the Cardiff Stipendiary
Magistrate, Mr Hugh Jones, K.C., to-day. Leslie Nash, a member of the
ground staff at Cardiff Arms Park, and Wilfred Jones, a Glamorgan county
cricketer, appeared on remand to answer a number of summonses for alleged
motor offences. Nash and Jones were summoned jointly and separately with
driving away a motor-car without the owner's consent, while Nash was
further summoned for driving dangerously, driving without care and
attention, failing to stop after an accident, having no licence and having
no third-party insurance. Jones was summoned for aiding in respect of the
whole of these alleged offences. Mr Leslie Dacey, prosecuting, said when
persons went for a 'joy ride' and there was an accident the passengers as
well as the driver were liable. It was alleged that the car was taken by
Nash and Jones from the Cardiff Arms Park on the occasion of the Glamorgan
and Warwickshire match on July 12, where Frederick Walden, of
Wellingborough, Northants, was one of the umpires." -
Sunderland Echo, Wednesday, 23 August 1933 |

"At the request of several well-known cricket and
football enthusiasts, Mr. W. Bullimer, the County Cricket scorer, is
organising a fund to be known as the Fanny Walden Memorial Fund.
In the appeal, Mr. Bullimer states 'Fanny gave great delight to thousands
of football and cricket followers and the appeal is to perpetuate his
memory and primarily to give a start in life to his young son, Bob, to
whom he was devotedly attached.' The appeal is chiefly directed towards
County Cricket and English League football clubs, and it is hoped it will
receive a ready response. Others who may wish to subscribe are asked to
send cheques made payable to 'The Fanny Walden Memorial Fund, Lloyds
Bank.' The accounts will be audited by Councillor V.J.H. Harris, and
balance sheets sent to all subscribers." - Mercury and Herald,
Friday, 20 May 1949 |
