Turning out for London County against the first West Indian touring side at Crystal Palace in 1900, WG's lunch consisted of 'a real whack of the roast, followed by a big lump of cheese and a whiskey seltzer'. He was 52 at the time. He made 71.

ReplyDeleteAnd I do like cheese on toast,
But the thing I love the most
Is a real whack of the roast!
Hurrah!
