A true great, I met him in Barbados and was so awestruck I couldn't say anything to him apart from "you're great"

I'm not a huge cricket person but there's some people who just transcend their sport, and he was one of them.

Been keeping this one to myself but RIP the old man, passed away last week after a long illness, battle with dementia, two strokes and a heart attack to boot in the week before he passed. Proper Spurs, love that I got to see the EC win with him, will cherish that.

I'm really sorry to hear that. My girlfriend mocks that all me and my dad ever talk about is Spurs, rather than the serious stuff of life. But actually having that to share is a great thing that creates a easy and ongoing connection you don't always have with all close family members. I hope he had a happy life and the later health issues were made as comfortable as possible for him
