Sri Lanka superfan Percy Abeysekara, fondly known as Uncle Percy, dies aged 87
Percy had been a regular at Sri Lankan cricket matches for more than five decades, but gained global prominence during the 1996 World Cup
It is with great sadness that I heard our beloved Uncle Percy has met his maker. You were the first superfan and for all of us you will always be special RIP
