Just seen Ted Dexter has died sad news again One of the first Cricket related autographs I ever got in my brief teenage phase of collecting them RIP https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/52312161
Great feature on Sky cricket about his life and career. “Lord Ted” was one of those cricket characters I started watching in the 60s. Along with the likes of John Edrich and Sir Geoffrey - unlikely we’ll ever see players like that again.
Great cricketer, odd man. When standing as conservative candidate in a safe labour seat, he advised the electorate to send their kids to Eton if they wanted them to be successful in life. You can see who Botham takes after.....
