About Eddie Illingworth

  • Edward "Eddie" Philip Illingworth (born 27 November 1938) is a former Australian cricketer who played five first-class matches for Victoria between 1962 and 1964.
  • A right-arm medium pace bowler, Illingworth was best remembered for being no-balled for throwing in a Sheffield Shield match against South Australia in November 1964 by umpires Col Egar and Jack Ryan.
  • His selection for Victoria was made more controversial by the fact that he had been called at district level for throwing prior to his first-class debut.
  • Away from first-class cricket, Illingworth had a successful career for Fitzroy in Victorian Premier Cricket, where he remains the eighth highest wicket-taker of all time, with 599.
  • He was named the club champion three times, and later served for seven years as a board member of the Victorian Cricket Association.
