I could listen to Sir Geoffrey talk cricket for hours. The man is a true superstar and living legend of the game of cricket. He’s been in my life since 1977 when I was eight years old and heard him on TMS scoring his hundred at Trent Bridge in his comeback Test Match. My father had it on the radio in the car as we sat there waiting for my Mother and Sister on a Saturday afternoon.

Miss his commentary. A real passion for the game.

Memories of him commentating sprung to the mind...Good to hear him again...when we grow old memories,profoundness of life experience is the real wealth we are left with...❤

Great character

I could listen to Sir Geoff all day, absolute legend

Fantastic knowledge. Shame that the snobs at the BBC and Sky got rid of him. Geoff Boycott was also right on uncovered wickets - modern cricket played on flat pitches has killed cricket - boring to watch slog fests on modern, flat, pitches.

Great listening, I can relate to bits of what he's saying even in the 80s, no phones, you had knock on for your mates, playing footie and cricket outside, using crates for stumps.. Good days

I've just come across you & your work sir and have now subscribed and will add you to the podcasts I follow passionately and listen to,superb interviewing skills on show,boycs was on fantastic form also,a superb listen massive Yorkshire and boycott fan,Dean,Hull

Overrated? He scored 8114 Test runs at 47.72 as an opener and played in an era that was rich with great bowlers - Lillee, Thompson, the West Indians, Hadlee, Kapil, Khan, Qadir, etc . Not to mention 48k FC runs at 56, including 151 centuries. Sir Geoffrey Boycott was a fine batsman and his wicket was amongst the most prized in world cricket for all bowlers. He might not have been the most entertaining batsman to watch, but he made the most of the talent he had. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
