Geoff Boycott:
Way back at the start of his career in the early 1960s, the England batsman Geoffrey Boycott used to bat in glasses before switching to contact lenses.
A few prolific decades later, he had scored 48,426 first-class runs, including 151 tons, and captained both his country and county on multiple occasions.
Boycott has since been a regular feature in cricket commentary boxes around the world, where his opinionated views always keep things interesting.
