Title: Fred Trueman Post by: hansgruber on Sunday, July 2, 2006, 13:44:00 Shame isn't it. I said to a mate after we lost the football - "at least no one's died", but then he pointed out Fred Trueman had. Sad day all round really.
Title: Fred Trueman Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, July 2, 2006, 20:55:19 I'm old enough to recall Trueman as a player, although I only caught him at the tail end of his career....he was the superstar of cricket back then a bit like a Botham or Flintoff.
I used to love his old fart commentary on TMS, although it came to grate with a lot of folk.....bit like Sir Geoffrey now. Title: Fred Trueman Post by: larwood on Monday, July 3, 2006, 07:16:50 Very sad news,he was a legend.
Title: Fred Trueman Post by: quinnismyhero on Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 08:21:45 I seem to remember him presenting some show in the 70's that was to do with pub games like bar billiards and table skittles? Am I right?
He always used to sign off with a "sithee" and a puff on his pipe. Anybody remember the show? Title: Fred Trueman Post by: larwood on Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 11:00:15 I've seen clips of it,looked really funny in an unintentional sort of way :)
On Talksport, Hawksbee [sp] and Jacob's show had tapes of him doing his after dinner speeches,they always made me laugh out loud :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: |
