Probably of no comfort at this time to his friends and family but to be someone that nearly all cricket fans aged from 40ish onwards would look back too as a player that was instrumental in unarguably one of the greatest and most exciting moments in English cricket is something that all close to him can be justifiably be very very proud of..
RIP
I got his autograph in '86 at Hove, I seem to recall. One of the first players I ever spoke to. Very sad.
Long live Lillee c Willey b Dilley
