Subject: Brian Close Former England and Yorkshire cricket captain dies, aged 84
Written By: Philip Eno on 09/14/15 at 4:52 am
Former England, Yorkshire and Somerset captain Brian Close has died, aged 84.
The Yorkshireman was the youngest player to win a Test cap for England when he made his debut against New Zealand in 1949 as an 18-year-old.
Close, who was known for his brave batting, captained his country seven times in 22 Tests, and led Yorkshire to four County Championship titles.
He was also a footballer in his youth, playing for Leeds United, Arsenal and Bradford City.

He would have died happy with the Ashes won and the Championship in Yorkshire's hands too!
