RIP to a Yorkshire legend. He came across as a really genuine, likeable bloke who will be sadly missed by all that knew him.

I am not a Cricket fan, but I read his autobiography and what a great read it is too.

I was lucky enough to have met him three times.
A really top, likeable bloke.
Very emotional and had some great stories to tell.
Should have had a knighthood for services to sport.
