Geoff Boycott is a wave of admiration for my partner, a wiry, slight, dedicated, lonely man doing a lonely job all these years.

These boys were thrilled. I had a letter from one of the fathers saying that his son will never forget that day and wanted to say thank you for arranging for him to meet two great stars.’
