Ian Cockbain Wife: Was Ian Cockbain Married?

Ian Cockbain, who played 46 first-class and 28 one-day games for Lancashire between 1979 and 1983 has died. He died September 2 at age 64.

Was Ian Cockbain married? Cockbain was believed to be married. But he kept the identity of his wife under the wraps.

Cockbain, a right-handed batsman who bowled slow left arm orthodox, made his first-class début for Lancashire against Leicestershire towards the end of the 1979 County Championship.

Cockbain joined Cheshire for the 1984 season, making his début against Cumberland in the MCCA Knockout Trophy.

He played Minor counties cricket for Cheshire from 1984 to 2001, making 146 Minor Counties Championship appearances and 47 MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances.

At Bootle C.C., Ian played with distinction for thirty years, captaining the team to great success before retiring in 2008 at the age of 50.

Six years later he came out of retirement to revive the fortunes of Formby C.C. whom he skippered to the Division One championship and promotion in 2014.

On the last day of the 2014 season, Formby were proclaimed champions, winning the division by twenty points and thus fulfilling the club’s dream for 2015.

Cockbain was also a useful semi-professional footballer, making a handful of appearances for South Liverpool in the Northern Premier League in 1982–83, having been a regular scorer for the reserves.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Cockbain’s family and friends.
