    I agree I lost a relative last Christmas Day. No good time to lose one as at the time funeral numbers were too small with restrictions.

    The word legend gets over used but Ray is one. England players will no doubt be playing witj black arm bands and hopefully it motivates them to win for him, especially the three Yorkshire players in the team.
