Bob Willis RIP

Blimey dropping like flies now. RIP will soon require a separate subsection...
Set the bar high for grumpy old men.
RIP Bob.
 
Sad to see another one go.

Saw him once walking around at Old Trafford - he must have been commentating. He had the most intense 1000 yard stare I've ever seen.
 
Gosh - I surprised he was that old. Still, no great age these days.

Part of my younger days driving the country listening to TMS on long wave, with Willis thundering down to the bowling line.
 
Immense in his prime - and loved his comments, especially on The Verdict. The Headingley test was etched in my memory as a young England fan.
 
Great fast bowler. Never gave less than 100%. Dodgy knees but still came steaming in. Memory always suggests he took a wicket in his first over, often LBW beaten for pace.
 
Great bowler. Led by examole and a first rate grump too. RIP. Always enjoyed Root's tease.....
