Geoffrey began an illustrious Test career in 1964 in the first Test of the summer against Australia. He went on to score 8,114 runs in an 18 year Test career spanning 108 Test matches.

Geoffrey was the first England cricketer to pass 8,000 Test runs and is still fourth on England´s all-time running scoring list, behind Graham Gooch, Alec Stewart and David Gower. His average of 47.73 runs over 193 innings is a unique achievement amongst England players playing since 1970. His Test career included 22 centuries, an England record that he holds jointly with Wally Hammond and Colin Cowdrey.

In 1977, Boycott became the first ever cricketer to score his hundredth first class century in a Test match when he scored 191 against Australia in the fourth Test at Headingley, his home ground.

Boycott established himself amongst England´s finest ever opening batsmen. A proud Yorkshireman, Boycott followed up his playing career by becoming a commentator.
