Uncle Albert Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Sorry it's not football related but what a sad piece of news. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/9338665/Surreys-Tom-Maynard-dies-aged-23.html Surrey cricketer, tipped to go on to play for England was apparently killed after being hit by a train on the London Underground. Only 23 as well, what a shame, rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdc Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I spend quite a bit of time in London but how on earth can you get hit by a tube train. Must have been out on the drink or suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 He was on Cricket am at the weekend, certainly a huge talent, Surrey also suffered the loss Of Ben Hollioake a few years back who was also a huge young talent. Such sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Non suspicious according to all the news reports, so can only assume it's a drunken fall or suicide Terrible news either way, a huge talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claverham_Red Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Sad, sad news. Looked to have a decent career ahead of him. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 He was on Cricket am at the weekend, certainly a huge talent, Surrey also suffered the loss Of Ben Hollioake a few years back who was also a huge young talent. Such sad news. Surrey also lost Graham Kersey in 1996 due to a car accident. Very sad new reference Tom Maynard, a police statement seems to suggest they tried stopping him in his car in the early hours of this morning after he was seen to be driving erratically. They lost sight of him and a man fitting the same description was later found on the tracks near Wimbledon station. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 To think that the last time I saw him would have been in the CB40 final when I was extremely annoyed that Somerset had managed to lose another final. The news today doesn't half put that into perspective. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 How do you know that exactly? The police reports won't make nice reading for you then mate If the reports are true, and there's no reason to doubt them if the police have made them public, then this makes it even more of a tragic loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Being on the piss is what seems to have done for him. Don't think right now is the time to speculate what happened, let's wait and see what the police investigation finds. Spare a thought for the tube driver, he'll have that haunting him for the rest of his life Like others the last time I saw him was when he helped Surrey win the CB40 at lords. So very tragic.

Yep, must be terrible as a tube driver, knowing their is a person on the rail way and you are pretty much helpless as you cannot stop a train so suddenly. It seems people under-estimate dangers of a railway. I catch a train everyday and just walking on the edge of the platform is a bit iffy. RIP.

Lew-T Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 What a horrible way to go and at such a young age. He was always a great talent and I had high hopes for him to go on and play for England one day. Such a shame RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't wish harm to anybody but surely, if the police had reason to stop his car and he ran away, then he was obviously hiding something (possibly over the limit). As a cricket supporter, I mourn his passing but wasn't his demise down to himself and his own silly actions? Apologies if this sounds like bad taste. RIP to a sadly wasted talent.
