Waterlooville sport has been saddened by news of the recent death of Dave Cassell, a prominent past footballer and cricketer in the town. He was in his Eighties.
A goalscoring left-winger, Dave played soccer for Waterlooville in their Hampshire League days in the late 1950s and throughout the Sixties and grew up little more than a goal-kick from the club’s Jubilee Park ground.
He was a regular pick for Hampshire county teams and played countless Ville games alongside his brother Alan, a tough tackling right back.
Like many sportsmen of his time, Cassell played football in the winter and cricket during the summer months.
A Waterloooville man through and through, he played for the town’s cricket club until well into his fifties as a top order batsman and specialist gully fielder. He was also a handy leg spin bowler.
“Dave was a great character, full of fun and very down to earth,” reflected Alan Bloxham, a long time Waterlooville cricket and football team-mate.
