Death of cricket legend Fred Trueman
Saturday, 1 July 2006 13:28England's greatest fast bowler Fred Trueman has died.
Trueman, diagnosed in May with a form of lung cancer, was 75.
The Yorkshireman, who was the first bowler to claim 300 Test wickets, finished with 307 victims in only 67 matches - an aggregate which stood as cricket's best until 1976 when it was surpassed by West Indies' Lance Gibbs.
Trueman made his Yorkshire debut in 1949 and retired from first-class cricket 20 years later, having taken more than 2,000 wickets.
