this shows stats and ipl contracts dont matter..have seen thorpe play inthe most diff situations and trust me not many from the past and present wud hav survived that situation and those diff innings he played and played out the most dangerous bowlers when needed
Awful news that Thorpe passed away really awful…..rest xx
I was there when he scored a hundred in his first test, and I was there for his 99th Test. I followed Atherton and Stewart who were fine players but there was something about Graham Thorpe, he played spin better than either of them and he was a more complete player. I miss Graham Thorpe and the world was a better place with him in it. Like Nasser said, I hope he's in a better place because his friends and supporters miss him.
So sad great batsman and person! R.I.P.
I remember Torpe against WI against Ambrose and he smashed him all around the park so sad of his departure
What is the name of the host/interviewer ??
He was definitely the most beautiful looking player from England in that era.
At the time, the Aussies said there was only one player that would get in their starting XI…Thorpe WAS that man…
Rest in peace Graham Thorpe 😢
Nasser- absolute top man.
I remember Thorpe fighting many times for England……rip legend
Thank you for the memories Graham, God bless x
I am struggling with serious suicidal depression and knowing that Graham Thorpe struggled with it makes me feel that if someone who appeared to have it all can be affected by the hell of serious depression then anyone can.
❤
RIP Thorpe you live with us.
I went to college with him. He was a footballer back then. A lovely guy who will be missed greatly.
How touching to hear all the tributes to Graham from his old team mates. What a shame none of them recognised he really needed some help to cope with being rejected by the game. Words come cheap, actions come more expensive
Thorpe was my hero when I first got into cricket. He was an unbelievable player. Absolutely no question in my mind if he was playing in this england team today he'd be averaging well above 50.
Today is a lovely tribute to your mate Nasser. 🙏
Beautiful words. I can still remember my shock when he was dropped (along with Rob Key) for the 2005 Ashes. If England had lost that series (as they so nearly could have done) heads would have rolled over the choice of Bell instead. Poor choice then, poor now.
Anyone reading this, ask the question to a mate – are you ok, and don’t take the first answer as the truth. Ask again if you think they’re not the same as before, they might be waiting for the second sincere prod.
No one remembered him when he needed us the most
So sad.
One of my favourite English players.
I remember the long partnership between nasser and thorpe in 1997 first ashes test as edgbaston. Watched it on TV.
Fabulous words from Nasser. He'd be looking down on him with pride!
🙏🙏🙏
Could listen to these 2 for hours. 2 gentlemen
RIP Graham Thorpe
We wish Nasser/others could reach him at his toughest time, and its a lesson for everyone. When your close friend disappear from the scenes for a while, kindly reach him, he might needed you.
He was an ok player according to his ex hoe
He hardly speaks about him 😢❤,so emotional
He was a class player, loved watching him carve runs out against the best of the best.
