One for the F1 aficionados - Carlos Reutemann has exited life’s pit lane -

Wish I could venture an opinion on his life and times, but while I can hear echoes of Murray Walker’s voice yelling his name, I recall nothing of the man other than his longtime presence in the sport’s heyday…

Fuck ! Noo !!!

Myself and the kids worship that man. The memories we have :sweat:

Remember watching him in a couple of Ashes winning sides, such a good bowler.

RIP

Always seemed like a character and very modest. I remember when asked how he bowled this ball or that ball he said “I’ve no idea, but if I don’t know what it’s going to do, neither does the batsman.” :grin:

Like Matthew Hoggard/ Gus Fraser etc, one of those “fuck this for a game of soldiers” type bowlers. I can see him trudging to the top of his mark right now…

Really? Shit.

I was literally just standing on the back doorstep humming “El Diablo”.

:frowning_face:

Not really my kind of music but it was all over MTV when I was first working in the USA. He died in his sleep according to the reports.

IIRC he has / had already had a close shave literally shooting himself in the foot with the firearm in his (being a Texan) cowboy boot.

I love their whole oevre, although allegedly Eliminator was basically a Billy Gibbons solo album until it went galactic and he would have looked a bit silly playing gigs on his Tod.

About the time video juke boxes became popular in pubs, for some reason ‘Legs’ and ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ were very popular :grinning:

It might well have been but Hill’s bass interlude in Thug was, and remains, the absolute tits.
