Geoffrey Boycott and words like strong will and patience go hand in hand. It is a commendable thing for a batsman to trade grace and flair for more solid defense and importance to his wicket.

His career-best score of 246* against India came in the year 1967 at Headingley, Leeds. A healthy average of 48 and 22 centuries are statistical highlights that signify his credentials as a test opener.

He was a vital cog in the English batting line-up and a century on his comeback in 1977 is a testament to his never-give-up attitude.

Post his retirement, he turned to commentary and is known as someone who is not afraid to voice his opinions.
