Shocking. Was working on Sky here in the UK up until recently. Became one of my favourite pundits here - told it as he saw it and pulled no punches.
I’ll genuinely miss him off the TV.

Sure is TF.
Sad part of life now. As we age , every else ages(family, parents etc, other friends) its all too common.
Fearsome bowler was Willis with his action.
Nearly sent Rick RIP himself.
Heard a great interview with Rick today on Whateley's show as he put a call out to speak to Rick on the passing of Bob.
The one question which i found (compelling) , probably wrong word , If Rick held any ill feeling towards Bob.
Replied, NO. Part of cricket .
Here is the interview.

Rick McCosker pays tribute to the late Bob Willis

I saw in the obituaries today that former St Kilda player from the early 80's Doug Cox passed away. I vaguely remember controversy when the saints played him. Something about he was in Richmond's zone and shouldn't have been allowed to play for the saints. they got stripped of the points they won up to then. I also think in either his first game or first game against us he got knocked out.
RIP
RIP
That's pretty much it. It went to court where Cox was ruled a Richmond player, and we immediately cleared him back to St.Kilda for a small fee, maybe $5K. Papers may have even been signed outside the court. That same week we played St.Kilda at Waverley. Late in the game he was knocked out cold by Peter Welsh and carried off unconscious.
Later in the year after we won narrowly at Moorabbin, St.Kilda applied to the VFL to have Jimmy Jess charged with striking Peter Brown off video evidence, which wasn't allowed in tribunal cases at that point. Somehow the charge went ahead and Jess fronted the tribunal and was cleared, as the video was inconclusive. A rare and brief period of rivalry with the Saints.
The Sainters were probably still filthy that the Ghost ended up with us after being zoned to the Saints.
The good old days..........we were the masters at convincing players that they would be better off playing for the Mighty Tigers.
Indeed we are, a true destination club.
I remember reading how Dickie Clay decided not to play for lol@norf after the great man Jack Dyer had visited the family home.
The best decision the 4 time Premiership player ever made.
Heard it last night. Remember reading she did battle with cancer. RIP Marie. Sad to see so many in the music industry go.
Sad news, battled a brain tumour for many years evidently.
Now we have lost 2 great female stars from that era this year. Been listening to some live stuff by the cranberries lately , Delores O’Riordan was a super talent
