Cricket legend reunited with university team mates
A world cup winning cricketer returned to Trent Bridge after being honoured by The University of Nottingham. Former West Indies and Nottinghamshire cricketer Deryck Murray shared the secrets of his remarkable career after being presented with the Alumni Laureate Award. Wicketkeeper-batsman Deryck was part of the world-famous West Indies side that won both the 1975 and 1979 World Cup trophies, keeping wicket for the fearsome line up of West Indies fast bowlers. Off the field he held an equally impressive career, serving as diplomat in the Foreign Service of Trinidad and Tobago and as a representative to the United Nations. The Alumni Laureate Awards recognise alumni who have achieved excellence in their chosen field. Deryck was presented the award as part of the University's fortnight of graduation ceremonies. He said: "When you do things in your lifetime, you don't do it for awards or for selfish gain, but it's nice to be recognised and appreciated.
