Eddie Crush (25 April, 1917 – 9 June, 2007) was an English cricketer playing for Kent between 1946 and 1949.
Crush was born in Dover in 1917. [1] He served during World War II in the Royal Engineers. On D-Day, he was a subaltern winning a Military Cross for his actions on the day. His citation read: ""As a result of his courage and determined leadership, anti-tank guns, troops and an anti-tank regiment of the Royal Artillery were able to get up to the objective for consolidation at a very early stage in the battle." [2]
Crush played for Kent as an offspinner and occasional seamer as well as a lower order batsman. The highlight of his career was dismissing Don Bradman in 1948 when Kent played the touring Australian cricket team.[3] Crush retired after the 1949 season.
He died in 2007.
