Tragic tale behind the death of cricketer Graham Cowdrey aged 56: How the son of Colin Cowdrey fell into homelessness after his business and marriage unravelled



The tributes flowed freely on Wednesday for Graham Cowdrey (left) after his death at the age of 56. They spoke of his warmth, wit and generosity of spirit as well as his passion for cricket, the sport in his blood. He was a much-loved player, an attacking batsman who scored more than 14,000 runs in 450 first-class appearances across 14 years at Kent from 1984. He was also wonderful company. Quick with a joke or an anecdote from his days in the dressing room, often at his own expense, such as the time paceman Michael Holding removed his teeth with a bouncer or his enduring struggles against leg spin. Cowdrey hailed from a famous cricketing dynasty (right). His father Sir Colin, later Lord Cowdrey, who died at the age of 67 in December 2000, was one of the England greats - the first to play in 100 Tests, a former captain and a batsman of rare elegance and style. Brother Chris, the eldest of four children, captained England, too, and Chris's son Fabian became the third generation of the family to represent Kent.
