Fred Titmus RIP

[Saxondale]

Im not pensionable so I dont know much about him but this seems to be a fitting tribute

Fred was a great England spinner from a golden era of cricket and I can recall many happy summer afternoons listening to test matches on the radio in the 60's. He was also an accomplished footballer who played for Watford and was at one time on Chelsea's books.

    I fucking loved Fred....in a non gay way of course.   I tried to model my spin bowling on Freddie. He was also a decent bat...scored 61, batting about 8 or 9 in 74/75 his last series I think v Aussies some 20 years after making his England debut.  I thought he was finished after losing 4 toes in a boating accident in the West Indies, but amazingly apparently if you keep the big toe, you can get by without the others .

He wasn't on a pedalo was he?

Ohh! Dracula comes from Transylvania, Stevie Nicks talks about kleptomania, Johnny looked out of his bedroom window and shouted to him Mum.....'Fred Titmus!' 

P.S. So, thats Bob Todd & Fred Titmus done. Now on to Len Ganley, Dickie Davies or Nerys Hughes!

P.P.S RIP Fred

Apparently the Aussies nicknamed him Leo(Sayer) after one of Geoff Thomsons express delivery's hit him in the balls.

Good ol fashioned spinner.......R,I.P.
