Sad - I always liked Max, great sense of humour, never took himself too seriously.

Interestingly, the old Aerogard ad he did in the 70's ("avagoodweekend, Mr Walker") is in my YouTube channel, has had over 5000 views in the last three hours.

R.I.P Tangles.     Way too young.  

Playing cricket was his life, and it eventually took his life with melanoma

[mloreason]

Riche Benaud died from something similar which I think he put down to spending years in the sun.

[imastawka]

Yeah, Richie died from skin cancer, but at least he made it to 85 yo

His was a name you knew

because his was a name you knew.

Colour in the printed pattern

on the wallpaper of the place you lived as a kid.

And now the wallpaper's fading and tattered

and I'm running out of heroes.

Nobody told me getting old would be like this.

Goodbye, Max.

It's a terrible thing,  when you know more people below ground than above it
