Watch the footage of Brian Close facing Michael Holding. Brutal bowling and I am sure he was a few mm away from a fatal head injury multiple times but he hardly flinched. The man wasn't a great batsman but by eck he were tough
Two legends my fuckin' arsehole. One legend yes, the other, Botham, certainly not. The pervert is known to take pleasure in shooting our feathered friends out of the sky for his own sick twisted gratification.
Owwwwwww! I thought Bumble Lloyd was exaggerating about how his bits got jammed in his box after being hot by Jeff Thompson. Looks like there was a serious design flaw!!!!!!!
That exact thing happened to me when I was 20yo…..plastic box that split and then snapped tight on my old fella;I am now 77 and this video brought tears to my eyes😂

2 legends. They are both immortal. Thanks for the memories 😉

Whatever else he was, Brian Close was hard as nails!
Wow! You can’t get no bigger compliment from a true legend, who himself never wore a helmet.
Pure class from Viv. Great story about closey
Brain Close was brave to the point of insanity.

Wayne Shelford says, "Hey Viv. Hold my beer. Just got a Test against the French to get out of the way."
Close was a hardman

All three legends!! Viv Richards, Ian Botham and Brian Close. I salute you, Sir. 🫡 RIP big man. 💐
Poor audio quality
Crikey. Brian Close and Buck Shelford should've gotten together to trade stories...
Was thinking the same thing.

I watched that game on TV, from Nantes , that was one dirty game.
Wayne Shelford ended up with missing teeth, concussion and a split scrotum .
He spent most of his career fielding at short leg without any protection too.
Bald and brave😅
One great man and Brexit Botham.
Oh dear what a tiresome knobhead you must be🙄
