I met him a few times getting his autograph. He was a lovely guy. RiP Derek.

Once played with a half decent standard "fast" bowler who once was up against an elite level wicketkeeper that told him "you're almost as quick as Derek Underwood!"
TBF he (Derek) was pretty quick for a spinner. RIP

Sunday afternoon BBC2 watching Derek Underwood bowl in a Sunday League match.
The bowler I aspired to be alas I was rubbish. My mid teens in a nutshell.

RIP Deadly.
