Cricket greats have joined friends and family at stkildafc's Moorabbin headquarters to farewell Shane Warne at a private funeral. 7NEWS

St Kilda Cricket Club coach Glenn Lalor told AAP about his time playing with Warne in the early 2000s.

“Every time Shane was available he would love coming back and playing with us, which was great,” Mr Lalor said.“He was just an everyday bloke that just wanted to be around and enjoy the day. He was never hard to deal with, he was always fun.”Credit:“He had a point of difference,” he said. “There’s a lot of professionalism, I suppose, in cricket now but he just kept it real.”

Club president Paul Ryan said: “Shane was the greatest cricketer our club has produced in its 168-year history. “However, just as importantly he was also a great friend to many at our club and supporter of our club. “Shane is, and will continue to be, greatly missed we are very conscious that our loss needs to be kept in perspective with the devastation being felt by his children and family.”
