A magnificent umpire, a true gentleman and a very friendly guy |
|
who always had time for everyone. |
|
I saw dickie a few weeks back at Scarborough, gracing the ground |
|
and chatting to everyone as was his way. He was starting to look |
|
his age in very recent times but still his passing came as a |
|
huge shock. |
|
Always flying the flag for Barnsley and Yorkshire, dickie will |
|
be missed by many around the world as well as in Yorkshire |
|
especially at Barnsley FC and Yorkshire CCC. |
|
RIP legend, the world wont be a better place without you. |

The word legend and star are these days overused but in Dickie |
|
Bird's case they are both apt and understated |
|
He let the players shine, without missing an opportunity to |
|
interject some Yorkshire humour |
|
Totally respected by the vast majority of players. |
|
I'm sure he and Parky will be keeping an eye on the Ashes from |
|
the boundary rope upstairs |
|
RIP |

Funeral was held in Barnsley this afternoon. And of course it |
|
rained! RIP. |
