Sir Clyde Walcott, distinguished West Indies player, administrator, selector and manager died in his native Barbados on Saturday August 25 at the age of 80.

Clyde Leopold Walcott, with Everton Weekes and Frank Worrell, was one of the so-called 3 Ws who dominated West Indian cricket in the years after World War II.

The three were all born within a square mile of the Kensington Oval cricket ground in Bridgetown, Barbados between 1924 and 1926, delivered by the same midwife.
