After the match he signed the boy's bat and I think the lad slept with this bat in his bed for a week, he was so thrilled. Although he wouldn't sign stuff during the game, once he'd had his team meeting Warney came out and sat on the players steps for more than an hour signing anything people wanted, posing for photos, whatever people wanted and he did it with good humour. It struck me that as arguably the most famous cricketer in the world he probably did this every day that he walked out onto a cricket pitch.
A true sporting icon snatched away far too soon
