Later in his career, he developed into perhaps the fattest headed sportsman of any code, and remains one of the greatest gobshites the world has ever known. In between these great feats, he did manage to accumulate some runs and wickets, however, few people remember that side of his career and it is not the goal of this page to dwell on these facts.
