But the Top Spin can reveal this version of events is little more than a smokescreen. For it appears that what actually tipped Vaughan over the edge was a phonecall from a stricken team-mate - a call so harrowing Vaughan decided he could cope no longer. The ex-skipper was enjoying a barbecue at home with friends two summers ago when he took a rare call from Monty Panesar. 'Hello, Monty.' 'Hello Vaughany. I've got some bad news for you.' 'Oh?' 'Yes, you know I was telling you about my parrot Gary last week?' 'Er...' 'Well, he's gone missing. Just thought you'd like to know.' 'Sorry to hear that Monty.' 'Bye.' 'Bye.' So aghast was Vaughan that captaincy duty now extended to fielding calls from team-mates about escaped pets that he knew his time was up. Sure, the tears at the farewell press conference left an impression on us all. But it was Monty's ex-parrot that sealed the deal.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lawrence Booth" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lawrence-booth/history-generally-records-that-michael-vaughan-quit-the-england/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2b6/lawrence-booth-60271_bad-news_history-generally-records-that-michael-v_1366878.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2b6/lawrence-booth-60271_bad-news_history-generally-records-that-michael-v_1366878.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2b6/lawrence-booth-60271_bad-news_history-generally-records-that-michael-v_1366878.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“History generally records that Michael Vaughan quit the England captaincy in tearful circumstances following…” — Lawrence Booth", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "Michael Vaughan gave me his old thigh pad when he retired.
