Allan Hayzelden

Who was Allan Hayzelden?

Allan Hayzelden was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler who played first-class cricket for Essex. He was born in Leytonstone and died in Harefield.

Hayzelden's cricketing debut came during the 1929 season in which he played in an Essex tailend against Worcestershire, though he only made one run before being bowled by Indian-born Humphrey Gilbert. Unable to get into the team on a regular basis, Hayzelden's second and final first-class appearance came two years later, in which, despite being caught out for a duck, achieved a three-wicket haul in the second innings of the match.
