Ronnie Aird

Ronald Aird, MC (4 May 1902 - 16 August 1986) was an English cricketer and administrator.

Ronnie Aird was born in Paddington, London and he played 136 first-class matches as a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium bowler for Cambridge University and Hampshire between 1920 and 1938. He was a good cricketer, but he will be remembered for his work at Lord's for sixty years. He was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1926, following the promotion of W. Findlay to Secretary. He continued to serve under Colonel Rait Kerr, until his eventual appointment as Secretary in 1952. He retired in 1962 and continued to serve the club as President (1968-1969), Trustee (1971-1983) and as a Life Vice-President (1983-1986).

He died at his home in Yapton, Sussex following a long illness aged 84.
