Geoffrey Boycott OBE is a former Yorkshire and England cricketer. In an illustrious, but sometimes controversial career from 1962 to 1986, Boycott established himself as one of England's finest opening batsmen.

He was the first England cricketer to pass 8,000 Test runs and is still fourth on England's all-time run scoring list. He followed up his playing career by becoming an often outspoken cricket commentator on both radio and television.
