Our tribute to the "Nelson"

His action is unique, his descion is accurate and the announcement is quicker and instantaneous.
Yes, you are right. He is none other than our own David Shepherd.

Shepherd was a batsman for Gloucestershire for 14 years.

He's best known as a leading umpire, standing in 92 Test matches around the world.

He was much loved for his one-legged jigs which he performed when the score reached 111, 222 or 333, scores known as a 'Nelson'.

He was 68.
