  1. I rarely shed a tear, just a bit of an old school stiff upper lipper I guess, but wavered a bit with the fly past & completely lost it when he was given his honorary England cricket cap today. The epitome of that incredible generation & the sort of inspiration to us all that was impossible to imagine just a month ago. I can’t really find the words but thank you & thanks to everyone who gave

  2. Yes a true legend who had already done everything for his Country and then goes and does it again, my only hope is for some, of the idle masses to learn from real men like these, one of the few... HB Captain, Sir? Tom, surely..... X

  3. They'll probably burgle his place when he is out, rather than learn any "lessons"

  5. I know mte... it just so sad that we have Guys like Tom giving so much for his Country and yet we have so so many who just sit around and expect to be given etc... let’s hope he has a fantastic day one he so richly deserves... X

  7. Cool guy, I bet he's having fun, but probably a bit overwhelmed by it all :)

  20. I thought he'd been knighted a while back to be honest. One of the most deserving candidates I think I have come across in the last few years :)
