Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
next Test. Displeased by this incident, the ICC withdrew Test status from the final game, making that series a totally controversial one in all ways. As a player, Denness was style personified, extremely elegant in his strokeplay against both pace and spin.
He amassed over 25,000 First-class runs with 33 centuries and 152 half-centuries. Denness was also an excellent fielder, especially in the inner circle where he pulled off some amazing reflex catches. A polished personality on and off the field, Denness was destined to lead England. However, his leadership stint ended in a soup with Geoff Boycott often indirectly causing rifts in the side which made it difficult for Denness to captain smoothly. He was in his last years when the ODI format came about and hence, couldn't stand long to dominate there. After retirement, he was a revered ICC match official and passed away in 2013 due to cancer.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Few contemporary batsmen were more stylish than Mike Denness at his peak, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Tallish and slim, well-balanced, immaculately dressed on and off the field, possessed of a fine array of strokes and an excellent cover fieldsman to boot, Denness looked a model cricketer in every way. It was his misfortune that when those qualities won him the England captaincy, after Ray Illingworth's dismissal, he lacked the support of one of the players on whom he was most dependent. Geoff Boycott, who made no secret of how acutely he coveted the captaincy himself, played only the first six of Denness's 19 Tests as captain, which fatally holed England's prospects against Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson in Australia in 1974-75. Deposed when Australia won the first Test of 1975 at Edgbaston, Denness took his medicine with typical graciousness. He later became an ICC match referee but, at Port Elizabeth in 2001-02, his decision to sanction six Indian players, including Sachin Tendulkar, caused such a furore that the Indian and South African boards barred Denness from officiating in the next match, at Centurion. The ICC responded by withdrawing Test status from the game. He died in April 2013 after a battle with cancer during his final days as president of Kent.
