70th BIRTHDAY BASH FOR THE CRICKET LEGEND GODFREY EVANS CBE

Here are the mega stars of cricket at the time – very sadly - a lot are no longer with us.

I appreciate that a lot of you today - may not have an interest in sport – and probably - are also too young to remember who some of these great sporting heroes are – but they were unquestionably the Beckhams and Mo Farahs of their day.

Even Sir John Major, who was then Chancellor of the Exchequer, personally phoned me to ask if he could come and pay tribute to the great ‘Godders’.
