Norman Whiting, Worcestershire’s oldest surviving former player, has died aged 93 after a short illness. Whiting played 59 matches as a professional for Worcestershire between 1947 and 1952, but continued to give the County outstanding service long after his first-class career was over. He was second team captain during his fifties in the 1970s and he spent more than 40 years as a committee member at New Road. He was also County President for two years between 2003 and 2004.
