Fred Trueman has died.

A fan of TMS in its pomp (circa Jonners, Trevor bailey et al) I adored Trueman for his gnarled dismissals of England’s bowling attack. 'Fiery' Fred was the nemesis of many an ambitious batsman, bowling with genuine pace and hostility at a time when most county cricketers were little more than fast-medium by today's standards. He certainly didn't suffer fools (or anyone else, really) gladly.

'In ma day . . . line n length . . .' I can hear his grumpy, grumbling voice as I type. God bless you Fred.

I'll be raising a glass of Spitfire to you this afternoon, old boy.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
