Headingley hero Dilley dies, age 52Graham Dilley, the former Kent, Worcestershire and England fast bowler who is probably best remembered for the supporting role he played with the bat in the famous Headingley Test of 1981, has died at the age of 52 after a short illness.
Dilley, who had become a respected coach since his retirement in 1992, most recently at Loughborough University, was admitted to hospital earlier this week.
