Bit of a shock.

Top England batsman. Great entertainer but struggled with mental issues similar to Thorpe
 
My favourite England batsman of that era. Fabulous aggressive attacking player.
His biography is a really good book but he was very open about his struggles since his cricket career finished.
 
Did have a stint at Glamorgan way back in the day , Second XI level for then .

Hampshire seen potential and gave it a go as a potential Test batsman and moved in .

As mentioned earlier , another name lost to us who would have graced St. Helens given the chance blossom over time .

62 years old and left us , sad news .

No, it was his brother who was with Glammy 2nd XI.
 
Used to love watching Robin Smith back in the day - 62 is no age, RIP.
