Kiss of Death

Sir Geoffrey Boycott

Recommended Posts

Did think he was out quite quickly given what the operation was for. I know it can be less intrusive nowadays but still would have thought he'd been in for a few days before he'd be discharged

Don't be cursing it. He's one for the 2025 list for sure. So long as he holds on

The great umpire in the sky will have to raise the finger to uphold the appeal; I can’t see Geoffrey walking. Even then, there’ll be a shake of the head as he trudges off, followed by a whinge about a poor decision as he climbs the pavilion steps one last time. For now, he remains in the corridor of uncertainty.

Dickie Bird and Geoffrey, the last of the professional Yorkshiremen, both looking relatively gradely at Headingley today. 

I would argue Alan Bennett is something of a professional Yorkshireman. Find it amazing that Bird is still going given he looked old and frail when umpiring 30 plus years ago. Boycott has now had two bouts of cancer and a quadruple heart bypass. Many lesser mortals wouldn't still be here.

"Alan flamin' Bennett?! A bloody poofter who lives in Primrose 'ill?! Is 'e 'eck as like. If e's a professional Yorkie I'll go t'bottom of t'stairs" (blah blah etc).

 

Old Godot was a bit of a pro-Yorkie wasn't he? Lived/lives in Surrey if I remember rightly.

Geoffrey looking well, although being stabbed by a lightsaber may not be ideal for his recovery
