RIP Tony Gregg - Charlemagne - 29-12-2012 11:47
It was sad to learn of the death of 66 year old Tony Gregg today.
He was the South African born captain of England from 1975-77.
Tony was last heard commentating on Sky this year.
He was diagnosed with lung cancer in October but reports say that he died of a heart failure.

Excellent cricketer and great enthusiastic, patriotic commentator. Was never frightened to give the pink ginners who ran cricket the criticism they deserved. RIP Tony

A real genuine character on and off the pitch, Tony Greig will be sorely missed. A tremendous player and very fine captain and commentator. R.I.P.

I always remember him for his pitch reports when he used a car key to highlight the cracks in the pitch.There's some really funny spoof recordings of these & others (sorry no Link). A larger than life character,RIP
