So true.
If I'm correct, he holds the record for drinking the most tinnies during the flight home to Australia at the end of a test series. Had to pour him off the plane at Sydney.
Some character.
Partially right. I think David Boon broke that record by all accounts with 52 tinnies. There's a cracking video of Dean Jones on YouTube recounting the story. Sadly Dean Jones is no longer with us either. Sad days. RIP Rod Marsh and Warney....

I had got one aspect wrong on my original post.
When I read his obituary, his exploit was actually en route to England before the series started.
 




One of those character actors who appeared in a myriad of programmes and instantly recognisable. Just a few : Red Dwarf, Rumpole of the Bailey, Hi De Hi, The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin : he also performed widely in stage and film.

Secret Army too.
RIP Ron Pember
 
One of the modern greats - Recently rewatched Body Heat with him and Kathleen Turner and it still stands up - Wonderfully steamy, sexual chemistry onscreen chemistry that you don't see too much nowadays

R.I.P
Wasn't he in the Black Widow movie recently as the US Intelligence chief?
