@Victor-Meldrew My F-I-L (not a Yorkshireman) knew Boyc's and had a lot of time for him. said that while he was a prickly bastard it came from feelings of insecurity and paranoia, but that some it was justified. Yeah he was selfish but he genuinely believed what was best for him was also good for the team. Also while Boycott didn't help himself there was also a lot of dressing room jealousy. Said once he relaxed Boycott was good company, albeit one of those guys that could get sulky very quickly at a real or imagined slight.
My abiding memory of him was when Alan Donald and Atherton (I think) were having a right old battle during a Test at Headingly and the crowd started booing Donald in a pretty ugly way.
Boycott was on the radio and went incandescent with rage at the crowd's treatment of Donald on his home ground. Really lost it but, it has to be said, for all the right reasons. Get the impression he values sportsmanship and respect for opponents really highly - if not his own team

There’s a lot to be said about this, stonewashed jeans….smoking looking cool…..mullets on players and fans alike……one of my favourite cricketers smacking a beautiful old school six..….( using old bats so much harder in those days )….
But the thing that gets me most is what the hell is holding that chicks bikini top in place at the start cos it certainly isn’t any tits that’s for sure.
