I was helicoptered out to the Ninian South oil platform that day so missed it live having witnessed Botham's heroics on the telly the previous day. Should've pulled a sicky.
Oh gosh, how sad. Thinking about it, he didn't look great the last time I saw him on Sky but I hadn't read anything into that.
