Trevor Chesterfield passes away at 75
Today is a sad day in the history of cricket as the famous cricket journalist and first class umpire, Trevor Chesterfield, passed away at the age of 75. Chesterfield spent his final moments in Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, where he had been spending life and working
for several years.
Trevor even after leaving the cricketing arena as an umpire continued his love affair with the sport and used to write different articles and books on the sport. Among his appreciated work was the famous book he wrote about the former Proteas fast bowler,
Fanie de Villiers.
Trevor witnessed almost all the matches held in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 last month. At that point of time, Chesterfield, seemed to be enjoying satisfactory health conditions. But due to his age medical issues had been knocking at his door step.
A few days back when he was invited to a talk show in Sri Lanka, Trevor complained that the cold in the studio was unbearable, clearly indicating the sort of medical issues Trevor was facing.
This morning, Chesterfield fell from his bed while asleep. An ambulance was called and during his way to hospital Chesterfield was declared dead.
Chesterfield was professionally known as “chesters” and his obsession with the sport led him to the gates of fame in journalism. Chesterfield’s famous nickname was “lbwbambrose” and it was given to him by his late friend Bob Woolmer.
Chesterfield spent an amazing life, as he was born in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, and then he moved to South-Afirca. In South-Africa he spent major years of his life where he served as an umpire and developed love for writing about the sport.
Chesterfield’s interest and love for cricket can be well judged by the fact that a few days before he passed away, even though he was facing serious medical issues, he watched the World Cup matches at the stadium.
