RIP Bob

If it wasn't for your 8-43 at Headingley in 1981 would their have been a " Botham's Ashes " ?

Given his Test call up because Derbyshire's superb Alan Ward was injured

Jeff Sterling obviously moved by Bob Willis passing during yesterdays Gillette Soccer Special. Provided a heartfelt and warm tribute during last nights scores. Bob was well and truly respected and admired among his fellow Sky presenters and will be sadly missed.
