Growing up, Thorpey was simply the best cricketer and footballer in every age-group team.”
It was like playing for Wrecclesham in the Flora Doris Trophy,
One of my most vivid memories comes from just before the last Ashes series in Australia [in 2002]
He still insists on making the world think he is a real family man, the Mr Clean of cricket
His team-mates call him Sh*gger — need I say more?
There came a time when I would have given back all my Test runs and Test caps just to be happy again.
He is a legend of Surrey and brought great pride to the Club wearing both the Three Feathers and the Three Lions
Everyone associated with the club is devastated by the tragic news of Graham's passing
Heartbreaking to see Thorpey has passed away
He had an obdurate stickability to his batting from my memory. He was one of those who would be standing tall amidst another England collapse."
We know that he is a fantastic player and he has shown that for many years now. Virat is in one of that batting orders which understands home conditions very well,
This is really sad. He was one of those few English batters of the 90s that Australian cricket fans really respected. A top bloke by all accounts."
RIP Thorpey .. Thanks for all the advice throughout my career,
Graham Thorpe has recently fallen seriously ill and is currently in hospital receiving treatment,
Graham is one of the great sons of Surrey, and there is an overwhelming sadness that he will not walk through the gates of the Oval again,
Of all the players I played with, [Thorpe] was the one whose state of mind most affected his play,
I don’t know where my journey is going to take me over the next few years but I’m going to enjoy working it out,
It is with great sadness that we share the news that Graham Thorpe, MBE, has passed away,
The cricket world is in mourning today. Our hearts go out to his wife Amanda, his children, father Geoff, and all of his family and friends during this unimaginably difficult time,
There seem to be no appropriate words to describe the deep shock we feel at Graham's death,
