Wouldnt of liked to face Bob Willis,the run up from the boundary, the fervour in the delivery, a cricket legend
I'm shocked and very sad to learn of Bob Willis's passing. What a shock. He was a great but underrated bowler. They didn't talk about him as being great at the time in the 70s and 8os but he was. With his long run up from at least half way to the boundary with the ball gripped tightly behind his back, frizzy hair flopping with every stride before release in the blink of an eye. Normally swinging inwards, with movement off the seam, he was a proper fast bowler, and what a bowler - who can forget his 8 for 43 to beat the Aussies in 1981,and of course he was often...

Thanks for so many happy childhood memories. Rest in peace, Blue.
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
Very sad re the premature death of Bob. Loved listening to him on the cricket debate where he didn’t care what he said. Funny story told by Michael Atherton in that he came out into the middle as a number 11 and forgot his bat.
no mate, boyhood hero to me, and apparently others on this forum, top player, top pundit and seemingly genuine good guy, thats why this is a respectful thread
Surely if anybody dies suddenly leaving loved ones behind then they deserve a bit of repect?
