Indeed, RIP. I used to see him at Oakwell every time we played there.

Tenuous link. I worked with his granddaughter in New Zealand about 20 years ago.

More of those tomorrow.

Rarely is the phrase "a good innings" more appropriate.
A true gentleman of the game.

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

I remember his last test match in 1996. Athers had arranged for him to have a guard of honour leading to much emotion, tears from Dickie etc. Two minutes later he gave Athers out lbw.

Well she claimed to be his granddaughter! Not sure why she’d lie but each to their own

Harold was a lovely man, I had the pleasure of meeting him twice.

RIP Harold.

R.I.P Dickie, Barnsley boy and as Phil said, big Barnsley supporter. Did not breakthrough at Yorkshire C.C.C and took up umpiring. One of the best. Saw him at Headingly couple of months ago. Looked very chipper.

What a legend. Always knew it was a safe pair of hands with Dickie umpiring, good age.

Poll: Will Phil ever confirm we are actually close on a signing ever again

He attended the 2000 play off final along with Parky.
