It was a sad day with the death of Tony Greig. The iconic figure who took our game by the scruff of
neck and transformed it to what we have today.
Like Jimmy Hill earlier who took Football into a similar Orbit Gregg created Stardom on an International stage.
Prior to these guys Sportsmen were for the enthusiasts who loved the game. Today they share at the Top level
Similar levels of performance given to Pop Stars. I would agree it is not for all but at least at the Top level of
performance they are now well rewarded.
I can still see Dennis Amiss who joined the Packer Circus in those early days with all the trials that they suffered
with his white crash Helmet on. It took years and Court cases to create the situation we enjoy today.
Rest in peace
