England star bowler’s sudden death shocks fans
Earlier, Star England bowler who made a hat-trick after getting his first first-class wicket, shocked fans with his sudden death.
The former Sussex and England pacer Tony Pigott, who later became the CEO of the same county, died at the age of 67.
The England bowler Tony Pigott made his debut for Sussex in 1978, when he was a teenager. His debut became famous after he converted his maiden first-class wicket into a hat-trick, against Surrey at Hove, having gone wicketless in his first two matches.
Interesting Debut
Tony’s debut story is interesting. He was playing club cricket in New Zealand when England suffered with an injury crisis in 1983-84.
The star bowler had to postpone his wedding to join his team. He left Sussex for Surrey, but a series of back injuries forced his retirement two years later in 1994.
The club’s title-winning captain Chris Adams said that “Tony was one of, if not, the biggest positive transformative influences in the history of the club. An incredibly sad day for his family, the Sussex family and indeed the broader family of cricket.”
“Personally, Tony played an enormous part in moulding my life for the better and was the number one reason I signed for Sussex in 1998. A really loveable, glass-half-full character who will be missed dearly by many,” he added.
