Player: | RP Lefebvre |
The signing of Roland Lefebvre during the winter of 1992/93 from Somerset proved to be a masterstroke for Glamorgan as they acquired the services of a most effective opening bowler in one-day cricket. Week after week, the Dutch seamer bowled a full and nagging length to frustrate and contain a host of opposition batsmen. Few opponents managed to get on top of him, and his accuracy with the ball was a key ingredient behind Glamorgan winning the Sunday League in 1993.
 
Amongst his many fine returns in one-day cricket for his adopted county were 4-23 in the Sunday League game against Durham in 1994 and a return of 11-5-13-2 in the Nat West Trophy quarter-final against Worcestershire at Swansea in 1993. He also pulled off some remarkable catches whilst with Glamorgan, and his athletic efforts in the field, together with his accuracy with the ball, made him a firm favourite with Glamorgan`s supporters. 
Before joining Glamorgan, Lefebvre had played for Somerset between 1990 and 1992. A severe groin injury forced him to retire from professional cricket at the end of 1995, but he has still managed to play in club cricket in South Africa and Holland, who he has represented in the I.C.C. Trophy and World Cup competition since 1986.
