Suicide pact with Liz Taylor?

With him a spinner and her married 8 times they both saw a lot of hand and wrist action in thier lives...

Did he lose some toes in a boating 'accident' ?

Indee he did, whilst on tour in the West Indies. His fishing line got caught in the propellor

I saw him play. Lovely bowler

His final appearance for the county came in 1982, when he was attending a match against Sussex as a spectator. Middlesex captain Mike Brearley called up Titmus on a pitch conducive to spin, and the gamble paid off as he took 3-43 to set up a 58-run victory

Still - had a good innings.

Good cricketer...sad to hear of him passing away.

 

[Art Vs Science]

Very sad news indeed.

End of Fred

Wonder what he ever thought of the great song written in his honour.
