That’s why he earned the moniker “deadly”Sad news. Used to love watching him on the telly as a young un in the 70s and in the right conditions he was nigh on impossible to play against.
RIP
I'm at the age now where I could rattle off the Kent XI of the early 70s but would be hard pushed to name two or three of the current side.RIP one of the great cricketers I grew up watching on the t.v. A thrilling bowler, 'pace spinning', just a joy yo watch. I had a soft spot for Kent then with Underwood, Knott, Woolmer and Iqbal as well as Colin Cowdrey who seemed like someone from another world.
Kent always seemed to he on TV on Sundays - I've just looked it up and they won the Sunday League in 72, 73 and 76.I'm at the age now where I could rattle off the Kent XI of the early 70s but would be hard pushed to name two or three of the current side.
Brian Luckhurst, Alan Ealham, John Shepherd and 6ft 8" Norman Graham from Hexham to add to that list.
It’s a funny thing about that Kent side. I could too. The Lancashire side of that era was pretty iconic as well and as someone who grew up in the far south of the county and only had Yorkshire to follow back then I could probably have named theirs too. But it’s weird about Kent. So far away but so much in the memory. Underwood and Knott were my first two heroes. I became a keeper because of the latter. A sad day.I'm at the age now where I could rattle off the Kent XI of the early 70s but would be hard pushed to name two or three of the current side.

Excellent that, just loved Underwoods action, that long, languid run up, killer execution.I always remember this.
