Deadly Derek Underwood

[Cardiffdaffs]

RIP.

On his day unplayable. Fantastic left arm slow/medium bowler.

 

[Zoophonic]

Aw - a fantastic strike bowler who could turn the ball sharply and at pace. Naggingly accurate.

RIP - can't quite believe he stopped playing back in the late 80's

Lots of memories
RIP fella

Sad news. One of those yesteryear gadgies like Ralph Coates who looked old when they were young. Amazing skills, could tie up an end all day.

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

RIP from an era when you would happily sit and watch the cricket all day on the telly. Never had that sort of time to spare since the 80s including now in retirement.

RIP, only caught the end of his career, but all the great players from late 60s and 70s rated him. Kent must have had some side then with him, Knott, Cowdrey and Woolmer.
