janie48 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well done Dickie Bird, Barnsley man and son of a coalminer. Great to see him on the main news receiving his OBE at the palace,not just for his services to cricket,but services to so many charities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Boring old fart. Him and Parky wheeled out whenever Barnsley FC might possibly be winning something then you never see them for dust when the team is crap. He may have been "a character" as an umpire but personally I'd prefer someone who just got on with the job without trying to be the centre of attention all the time.

Oh is that so, I don't suppose you would have said that if he was from Sheffield, Walkley man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
