I also remember him as a captain on Question Of Sport. RIP Cliff.

RIP

One of the greatest fly-halfs to play the game

Still gives me tingles even after 40 years.

That's sad. He was a proper gent/

Sad news indeed.

True gent, fantastic player, excellent commentator.

In reference to 'that try':

" If the greatest writer of the written word would have written that story, no one would have believed it. That really was something."

Pure poetry

RIP Cliff

[The Don of Croy]

Great communicator.

From pit village to Head of Outside Broadcast via grammar school - it's a journey fewer and fewer will have access to.

Loved his anecdotes on the Radio 4 sport prog every Saturday morning - had just enough to get you interested so you'd go to find the coverage or eagerly anticipate the report in next days' papers.

Another icon shuffles off the perch.

[DJRC]

A gentleman of his industry, both as a player, a commentator and Administrator. A class act.

I recognise Ray Illingworth, Henry Cooper and George Best with Morgan. Who is the lady and the other gent?
