A 'knight' out with a difference in Paignton - with Sir Geoffrey Boycott

Cricket legend Sir Geoffrey Boycott is heading for Torbay - bringing with him a lifetime of great sporting anecdotes.

He is appearing live on stage in An Evening With Sir Geoffrey Boycott at the Palace Theatre in Paignton on Friday October 6.

His expert analysis, forthright opinions and hilarious banter with Aggers made for absolutely unique box office.  Not only has he faced Lillee, Thommo, Marshall, Holding and the rest in their pomp - standing a few short yards away from these fearsome competitors bowling over 90 miles an hour at their head - Sir Geoffrey has the ability to put your there and tell you exactly what it feels like. 
 
He says: “This will be a night of fun and laughter talking cricket sense, with amusing stories and anecdotes, plus film of my playing and commentating career with audience questions and answers.” 
 
The evening will include photos, films, Aggers wind-ups and hysterical anecdotes from one of this country’s greatest ever sportsmen.  
 
Sir Geoffrey has always had a unique ability to communicate what it actually feels like to play the game at the highest level.  He can analyse playing conditions, a player’s technique and predict outcomes with forensic expertise and unmatched accuracy. 

He has been in love with cricket all his life and, from a young age, worked with blinkered dedication on his craft.  At the height of his powers, he was acknowledged as being the best batsman in the world.  This unparalleled experience and his deep love of the game are what make his honest, straight-talking views so compelling. 
 
 
In An Evening With Sir Geoffrey Boycott, Geoffrey shares personal film footage from an incredible career - some which has never been seen before.  He recalls hilarious anecdotes, featuring the larger-than-life personalities he has encountered on the way - among them Brian Close, Fred Trueman, Ian Botham, Harry Secombe and his great pal, Brian Clough.  There is also a chance for the audience to ask Sir Geoffrey their own questions.  
  
The event is being run in aid of the Professional Cricketers’ Association and money is raised from the evening for the Professional Cricketers’ Trust. You can find out more about the PCT and the important work that they do at www.thepca.co.uk/trust/ .
