Number 79 is a strange one! 79. Last week, it emerged Dylan had agreed to become an honorary patron of the The Bob Willis Fund - a new charity in memory of the late England cricketer. "Bob Willis was a great sportsman who left too soon," Dylan noted. "I'm happy to help keep his flame and cause alive."
There was an article in a paper about that last week. Dylan agreed to do it when approached by the charity and told he was Bob Willis's hero.
