Saw him walking down the street in Manchester years ago as a kid with my old fella. One of the nicest men in world sport who stopped and chatted to my dad as if he'd known him for years! No airs and graces, no 'do you know who I am ' syndrome just a genuine, top cricket man. A sad loss. RIP Ritchie, hope your spinning someone out somewhere.
Just to think we used to get this on telly for free! Never saw him bowl, but as a young boy I remember his commentary, and my brothers impressions of him.
