About this episode
The term "legend" is often banded about very easily these days, but in the world of cricket you cannot dispute the fact that Graham Gooch is fully deserving of wearing that crown. Having spent his whole career at Essex, captaining the club to many glorious moments, he also led England, also by example, scoring many memorable innings and taking part in some historic matches. In this chat we talk to Graham about Headingley 1981, his England colleagues, what it was like to face that fabled West Indies pace attack and also how highly he rates Alastair Cook and his approach to the game. We also talked about how Essex was faring during lockdown and what the club has been doing to support the local community.
