Indeed. Another part of my youth gone.

Sad news for both counties - RIP Norman Gifford

Oh no! Sad news indeed.

RIP

He joined Warwickshire when we were a very poor Championship side, often finishing bottom in the days of one division cricket. He seemed to instil a standard of cricket that improved the side on many levels. We were still hopeless but we were better and that was down to Norman Gifford.

RIP Giff, an important part of the Worcs teams I enjoyed watching ,mainly through the 1970s

[Crown Hill]

Was part of a terrible team for Warwickshire and a horrible era full of old players. Was a bit rude with the kids and autograph hunters. Should never have been signed really but the Club was very badly run at the time!

But certainly a very good cricketer to Worcestershire!

Moeen has come out of ‘retirement’ to sign for Yorkshire for t20

I hope he wins just as many knockout games for them as he did for us.

[PGW]

I hope he wins just as many knockout games for them as he did for us.

I didnt even realise he'd left us....shows how insignificent he had become with us.

Saw this image on social media, the gap where the hotel and new stand is going looks very small!

[Gareth]

I hope he wins just as many knockout games for them as he did for us.

And I hope he doesn’t win as many knockout games for them as he did for us
