Farewell to the legendary Bill Frindall..........
.......... who died today, aged 69.
An encyclopaedic cricket brain, and a strong sense of fair play which he was not averse to expressing publicly.
And his eye for statistics was of couse ummatched.
He was a long-term sufferer from Legionnaire's Disease.
RIP.

Re: Farewell to the legendary Bill Frindall..........
there are people that you wish that you have met them by just looking at their pictures...
i can say that he is one of them
but by the way ... how often are people in UK have a beard like this man?
and is it connected to age only .. or what is the idea behind it?
dose it add any value or portliness to a person over there?

A beard is a sign of great strength and wisdom...
I am a beard wearer and patron and enjoy the furriness of my face, as does Mrs SB, more importantly
Many of my friends in the UK have beards and non are slum dwellers, students or left wing radicals....
Big up to you Beady and your promotion of the Beardism!

that's something i am happy to hear. I agree that the beard is a manish thing that is as you beautifully said a sign of great strength and wisdom
but is the beard in UK sometimes linked to religion (i am asking about none muslims)

Re: Farewell to the legendary Bill Frindall..........
many scholars say that it is a must for a muslim to have it.
some of them are growing it not based on the order of islam but based on traditions.
