Graham James Kersey (19 May 1971 – 1 January 1997) was an English professional cricketer who played for Kent and Surrey in the 1990s.[1]
Kersey was born at Plumstead in south London and educated at Beths Grammar School in Bexley.[2] A wicket-keeper, he first played for Kent's Second XI in 1990 before making his first-class cricket debut for the county in May 1991. He played five times for Kent's First XI in 1991 and 1992 before moving to Surrey ahead of the 1993 season.[2][3] With Alec Stewart often on international duty, he found himself as the first choice wicket-keeper, making 49 first-class and 29 List A appearances for the county.[2][4] He was Surrey's Player of the Year in 1995 and was awarded his county cap at the end of the 1996 season.[3]
During the 1996–97 English winter Kersey played Sydney Grade Cricket for Western Suburbs District Cricket Club in Australia. He was involved in a road traffic accident in Brisbane on 24 December 1996 and died on 1 January 1997 as a result of his severe head injuries.[3][5] He was 25.[6] Stewart, speaking after Kersey's death, described him as "without doubt, the most popular man on the staff; a true players' player".[7][8]
