Graham Thorpe

Best 11 Thorpe played with below. I've mostly focused on players that he played with for a decent number of years. James Anderson being the exception.

Atherton
Trescothick
Butcher
Hussain
Thorpe
Stewart
Flintoff
Giles
Caddick
Gough
Anderson

I might have Tuffers in that team

Took his own life

More shocker that he took his own life. Graceful personality, strong family and outstanding career yet he was afflicted with mental illness.

He was easily English best player in 90's.

Maybe Gooch from 1990 - 1994, but Thorpe was a brilliant player

Jumped in front of a train, tragic set of circumstances

RIP

He was unlucky to miss out on selection for the 2005 Ashes. They had 2 spots between him Bell and KP.
IIRC Bell had played against Bangladesh in the first test of the summer and scored a lot of runs and got the nod.

Especially for the train driver

This was actually Graham thorpe's second attempt at suicide he tried two years ago ended up in intensive care for a long time... Unsure what he did before... You have to think he's been failed somewhere, but hasn't helped himself maybe
