Rip Bob Willis, another blue gone.

[PinkFinal]

Sad to hear of this. Was a huge Dylan fan apparently; stormed on to the stage at one of his shows I think, or maybe I’m misremembering. Anyway, one of England’s finest, RIP

Yes he even added Dylan to his middle names hence RGD Willis

 

[andthesunshineband]

Came across as a straight talker but not just to be controversial. Sorry to hear he's out forever. RIP sir!

Sad news,I didn’t know he was 70 RIP Bob,great bowler,City fan aswell.

Terrible news, RIP Bob, I remember the 81 ashes very fondly as the Old Trafford test was my first

Now it's saying after a long illness on the BBC.

Now it's saying after a long illness on the BBC.

Prostate cancer apparently

 

[Fame Monster]

Make me piss you lot, Gary Rhodes passes away and every joke under the sun is posted within 10 minutes of his heart stopping. A guy passes away who might have supported City and the forum goes into mourning

Goes to show how well respected he was.

Knowing (of) Bob, I wouldn't be surprised if Denly's dropped catch the other day seen him off.

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

I’m stumped

I was going to say he had a good innings but sadly never did.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Very sad news. He looked perfectly healthy on the Ashes debate in the summer.

I never got the chance to see him bowl but he was one of my favourite cricket pundits.
