Former Ashes-winning England cricket captain Ray Illingworth has died
After starting his professional career in a Yorkshire dressing room dominated by big characters, Illingworth grew in stature as a fixture of the dominant White Rose side which swept seven county championships in nine years between 1959 and 1968.
Installed immediately as captain at Grace Road, he was then summoned to lead his country when injury struck Colin Cowdrey.
