Brilliant player, was lucky enough to see him many times as a nipper. Was lucky enough to meet him a couple of times in later life as well. He came over as a thoroughly decent bloke. RIP Francis and thank you for the memories.
The Fairfield Arms used to be decent, though not been in for a few years. 10 minutes drive from the ground.

RIP John. Had the good fortune to meet him a number of times, even played cricket with him back in the seventies. Lovely man, great broadcaster. The world is a lesser place this morning.
A slightly obscure one here ... Beau Webster who plays cricket for Tasmania. He was pro for a local club over here 8 or 9 years ago and got into City then...
