It appears he was hospitalised after a prior suicide attempt a couple of years ago. If he did have another issue, it wasn't declared. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did have another issue, it wasn't declared. I knew he'd been in hospital, but it was never really confirmed what it was for. I guess my assumption was cancer, as it always seems to be in middle aged people.. Really saddened to hear it. It's affected a couple of my die hard cricket loving friends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I remember reading his autobiography and he came across a bit of a tortured soul and took his first marriage breakdown very badly. A lot of those 90s cricketers went through divorces as it was before central contracts and player welfare was shit. Such a shame he never felt the same worth as the rest of us all had for him. A top, top player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
