Derek Underwood Funeral | Derek Underwood Last Tribute Video 💔
Derek Underwood, England and Kent's legendary spinner, dies aged 78.
The England spinner will be remembered as one who gave his all on and off the pitch.
Michael Atherton, Geoffrey Boycott and others paid tribute to former England left-arm spinner Derek Underwood, who passed away at the age of 78.
Underwood, took 297 wickets in 86 Tests with his distinctive brand of brisk left-arm spin and is the most successful English spinner in the longest format.
One of Underwood's most memorable performances came in 1968 at The Oval, where he played a pivotal role in England's Test victory over arch-rivals Australia.
His remarkable figures of 7-50 on a difficult surface secured an unlikely win for England when a draw had seemed inevitable.
Underwood's international journey began in 1966 at the age of 21, and he remained a stalwart of the England team until his final Test appearance in 1982.
His contributions to English cricket, both domestically and internationally, cement his legacy as one of the greatest spin bowlers of all time.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Derek Underwood's family, friends and fans during this difficult and sad time. Rest in Peace 😭🌹🙏🏾
