 With 118
international caps, Alec is the most capped English Test cricketer of all
time. After 20 years in County and International cricket his final match
was a very high profile one at his home ground The Oval against South
Africa in the summer of 2003. His nickname ‘the gaffer’ comes from his
leadership qualities, his meticulous approach to the professional game and
the experienced player others turn to for advice and support.
Alec was
awarded a testimonial this year from Surrey and the common reaction from
peers across the board has been respect. With members of his committee
including the RT Hon John Major, CH, the late Sir Paul Getty, Sir
Christopher Gent and Ken Bates it proves the respect he has amongst all
his peers and the time and effort they are prepared to lend him.
As a
regular pundit on cricket shows, a popular player for written and
broadcast media, Alec is very comfortable in front of the camera. In the
start of his retirement and the first Christmas with his family for many
years, Alec is keen to look into all the opportunities that are being
offered to him and take his time deciding exactly which direction he would
like to move.
