Sir Garfield Sobers
The cavalier cricket knight whose elegance and dynamism made him an example to those who followed. As a captain that example was at its most controversial - he believed in retaining interest for players and spectators alike, even if that meant losing important matches, as it occasionally did.
Sobers hailed from one of those idyllic Caribbean islands. Barry Davies talked to him in the home he still keeps, close to his roots in Bridgetown, Barbados.
