One of one indeed.
Sir Garfield Sobers, former West Indies and Nottinghamshire cricketer sadly passed away on 17th July. He was a beloved cricketer and one of the greatest all-rounders in history.
“Sir Garfield Sobers was not merely the outstanding cricketer of his generation,” Lloyd added. “He brought to the beautiful game a rare combination of brilliance, imagination, courage and joy.”
