Deid - heroic English pace bowler

[57vintage]

RGD Willis (Bob), aged 70. Nae further details. He added a middle name ‘Dylan’ to his birthname as Bob was his hero. He achieved hero status himself in the 81 Ashes series.

😢

Aye, I listened to the whole of that series on Test Match Special.



RIP min.

That's a shame.
Stars of my childhood disappearing.

That's a shame.
Stars of my childhood disappearing.

My abiding memory was being at my Grannies for a weeks holiday during the school holidays and watching Willis thundering in, eyes bulging, arms pumping taking the Aussies apart.

RIP Bob and thanks for the memories

Proper mannies cricket back then. RIP Bob.
