		Arlott, LESLIE THOMAS JOHN, OBE, died at his home on Alderney on December 14, 1991, at the age of 77.

		With Arlott in her deathbed, Cranston said she found herself on the receiving end of a torrent of verbal abuse from Cornelius, who accused her of not taking care of her stepmother.

	BBC SPORT \| TV & Radio \| Test Match Special \| John Arlott: A poet
		John Arlott was many things - a poet, author, wine connoisseur - but above all a cricket broadcaster.
		Betjeman became his mentor and it was he who led John into joining the BBC in 1945 as the poetry producer of the World Service's Eastern Service.
		John's last broadcast was in 1980, but that remarkable low rumbling voice is still fresh in the memory of those who heard it.

	John Arlott
		Most readers will remember John Arlott who, with his distinctive Hampshire burr, was one of the best loved cricket commentators on radio from 1946 until his retirement in 1980.

	BBC Gloucestershire Sport - Autumn books reviewed
		One, Arlott (£8.99) is a reissue of a classic biography - that of the great cricket writer and broadcaster John Arlott.
		Rayvern Allen knew Arlott well, and later edited collections of his writing, and this knowledge shows in what is a truly outstanding book.
		Probably because Swanton is less rounded than Arlott in terms of what he did, he is a less sympathetic figure, although one must take account of what happened to Swanton during the war.

		Not only was Fred Trueman one of the most magnificent fast bowlers England has ever produced, he was also one of the game's greatest characters.
		He suggested to John Arlott, half jokingly, that his biography should be called "T'definitive story of't 'finest fast bowler that ever drew breath."
		The brash behaviour of his youth was uncommon in the 1950s and did not endear him to authority.

	This is Hampshire \| CommuniGate \| Newsletter 4a
		Our last speaker, in October, was Peter Baxter who gave a delightful talk on John Arlott, the greatest of all cricket commentators.
		John was born in Basingstoke, lived for many years at "The Old Sun" in Alresford and had been a beat bobby in Southampton.
		It is fairly well known that John’s first cricket commentaries were on the Indian tour of 1946 but he had previously made his debut with a radio piece about Hambledon.

	Genius is what genius does
		It was merely a few words, a few words uttered by an Englishman in patented style, with an under-stated sense of excitement, on BBC sometime in the mid-1960s.
		Those were the words of John Arlott, the greatest of cricket commentators.
		Over the last three decades, even as the rose tinted glasses of the adolescent years were traded for reality-lenses, so to say, in professional cause as a sportswriter, one has time and again recalled those words of Arlott, coughed out by a misbehaving old speaker in an antiquated Murphy radio all those years ago.
