Former New Zealand test cricket umpire Fred Goodall has died, aged 83.
Goodall, was New Zealand's leading umpire during the 1970s and '80s, standing in 24 tests and 15 one-day internationals between 1965-88.
He was a central figure in the historic 1980 series between New Zealand and the West Indies, with the tourists dissatisfied with the officiating of Goodall.
In the first test at Dunedin, bowler Michael Holding kicked the stumps over, after Goodall's fellow umpire John Hastie gave New Zealand batsman John Parker not out, despite Holding's appeal for a caught behind.
In the second test at Lancaster Park in Christchurch, the Windies were further incensed with the officiating of Goodall and at one stage refused to return to the field for 10 minutes after a tea break.
Tensions then reached a breaking point, when fast bowler Colin Croft elbowed Goodall, as he came past the umpire to bowl.
New Zealand won the series 1-0 - their first series win against the then world's best side.
After he finished umpiring, Goodall competed in masters athletics, with success in the javelin and discus.
In 1999, he was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to sport.
