The Spinner from Oz - regarded as the undisputed King of Spin Bowling in Australian and world cricket - passed away in Thailand, his management has reported.
But as well as being an icon of cricket, he is also famed for his huge, generous character and colourful off-field personality that led to a fairytale romance with Elizabeth Hurley that captured the world's imagination.
Here we look at back at some of the moments that saw Shane Warne and Elizabeth Hurley at their happiest - including their charity work - as people around the world pay tribute to Shane Warne - the man who made cricket cool.
