The news of the death of Severiano Ballesteros will not only have saddened those who knew him but also the hordes of supported that he'd accumulated over the years.
Universally known as 'Seve' his appearance on the golfing scene over 30 years ago brought a new style and exuberance to the game, similar to the way that Lee Trevino had done a decade earlier. 'Seve' was one of those rare sporting figures who transcends his sport, becoming an inspirational figure to many who probably had little interest in golf. His recent struggles with cancer only served to enhance his reputation and his passing diminishes us all.
'Seve' was a great golfer and universally admired. He will be missed.
