Born William Eric Hollies,played for Warwickshire & England and is famous

My granda used to tell me about him, watched him playing at Ode Hill Cricket ground - It's possible.... worth checking out his rellies I guess.

I managed to trace Eric Hollies' family back 5 generations to the 1780s in Dudley. but didn't find a connection to mine, so if there is one it's very distant....
