I don't think there are many people more universally loved or held in such high regard as Weir. I've never heard a single bad word about him.

I was lucky enough to be in the crowd 5 years ago when he brought the match ball out against New Zealand, and two weeks ago when his wheelchair prevented him from doing it again. He was frail, almost skeletal, but still smiling. Its something I don't think I'll ever forget.
