    Good one Len. He was the top scorer in both innings of the 1956 Test when Jim Laker took 19 wickets - 32 and 89.

    There’s a significant one coming up towards the latter part of 2019.....but I’m keeping my powder dry for the time being until their 90th.....a 100% genuinely huge worldwide personality.
    Having said that, I spoke to someone recently who informed me that the said person is not at all well.......so I guess it’s 50/50 whether they will make it onto Rivs honours board.

    I didn't have to google the cricket details. I remember a young Benaud often referring to him in glowing terms in commentary back in the sixties. Indeed the suggestion was made that Bill Lawry (only early eighties) was his natural successor......

    Actually I think she is along with Teddie. No time just now to look but will find later if nobody else does so first.

    I thought the rule was if YOU have to Google it, it's a definite NO. Nobody else's opinion on celebrity has any bearing on this thread. Or have you moved the goalposts Chirps? :wink:

    As I’ve told you countless times before this thread is about famous celebrities that are over 90 and still alive and NOT just people over 90 who are still alive. But you just carry on in your own little world trawling through cricinfo etc.

    Bernard Cribbins

    29 December 1928

    I shall annoy @Riviera by posting it now whilst watching Quartet which I thought might have a few more contenders in the cast but they are all too young!

    Happy Birthday dear Bernard. A stalwart of British film, theatre and television. My favourite role of his is undoubtedly Mr. Hutchinson the spoons salesman.

    This is not an RIP thread, it's quite clearly about people who are very much alive! And with respect Mr Salter does not qualify.
