Bob Willis, former England captain and 1981 Headingley Ashes hero, dies aged 70
The cricket world has paid tribute to Bob Willis after one of England’s greatest bowlers died aged 70.

This sad news just broke on talkSPORT.
Only 70.
I had got used to watching him on The Verdict on Sky.
Straight-talking, wanted to work right up until the end.
One of the longest run-ups I ever saw too.
Bob was as much a part of Headingley '81 as Beefy; 8 for 43 remember?
Will be hugely missed, R.G.D. Willis, a cricket legend, player and pundit.
Rest in peace, Sir.
