Diogenes 12 Aug 12:18pm, 12 Aug 2024 87,513 posts	0 Diogenes One of my favourite ever cricketers. I was sad to hear of his death, even sadder to learn the reason why.
SPR 12 Aug 12:20pm, 12 Aug 2024 45,673 posts	0 SPR I did Google a few times over the last couple of years as I wondered if there had been any news but didn't see anything. Presumably very close friends knew but the first Atherton article I posted by accident suggests they he didn't know and hadn't been in contact.
