Been suffering with bowel and liver cancer over recent years.


Rest In Peace Mike.

Very sad. A fine bowler and an top bloke. He used to be an umpire and did county second team games while he was qualifying so had a few good chats with him at square leg. What he didn't know about the game wasn't worth knowing.
 
I worked with an ex-teammate of his at BMW in Munich, I thought he was bullshitting me until he shows me a photo of them together in the all stars charity team. He also gave me a ticket for a Bayern v Barca game and I sat about 5 rows away from the Kaiser, Beckenbauer.

Gerd was one hell of a goal poacher
