Class in the 70s

Funny how names get engrained on memory. In the 70s as a kid I had no great interest in cricket but his name stuck with me and the notion of slow bowling (I didn't appreciate any complexities, I just assumed they cobbed it down as fast as possible).

Similar for this guy

Ehteshamuddin (cricketer) - Wikipedia

Stuck in my mind ever since simply because I was idly watching on the tele and it was announced he played for Daisy Hill, and here he was in a test match.

Odd really; I remember both names from decades ago in a sport I'm not fussed about, but couldn't tell you what I had for tea yesterday. Fucking thick old cunt that I am.

Bill Kenwright.

My phone has just exploded...

Often described as an impresario. 

Not exactly sure what that is but hell of a word.

Had he tried that thing Ian Botham swears by?

It got a bit Partridge towards the end. Started as a suicide message then went into "Don't believe Terry if he says this or that didn't happen".

I imagine his funeral will be a proper gangsters spectacle. Plumed horses, big bruisers in shades and Armani suits and someone checking out the size of the various bouquets for any lack of respect.

He’s had heart problems in the past. 

Probably as a result of all the drinks and drugs 

Poor bloke was only 54

Addicted to opiates, alcohol and cocaine in his time. Apparently had just played 2 hours of pickleball. So sounds like a heart attack.  No bloody age that though.
