Born in Cheshire, Ian played his County cricket with Somerset, Worcestershire and Durham. A larger than life character, ‘Beefy’ is now a leading voice of cricket with the Sky team. He was one of the greatest all-rounder’s ever to step foot on a cricket pitch, and he later turned his enormous energy and stamina to marathon charity walks, raising millions of pounds and earning a knighthood from the Queen. He scored 14 centuries and took 383 wickets in an England Test career in which he was extremely competitive, particularly if Australia were the opponents.
