Sir Geoffrey Boycott, are cricketer in the true and real sense of the word. His attitude at the crease applies just as easily to life as a whole. A text book batsman and a man of the people. A joy to watch and listen to in a world that is fast going to pieces.

Irishman, only new to cricket at 61, fantastic interview. What a super gentleman with strong values..Great interesting and informative Podcast.. keep it up👍
I never call any man Sir. You have to earn respect not just want it because of some English title given to you . Sir Geoffrey Boycott and many others in the old school English test cricketers have earned their respect . This coming from an Aussie test cricket lover and fan that believes in the ashes for ever .
Was never a big fan of cricket until the last ten years, it ain't so big in the North of Scotland... However, this was one of the most enjoyable interviews I have seen in a long time, Sir Geoffrey is a true gentleman speaking from the heart. He would make a great representative for the working class. Would love to meet him.
Isnt it absolutely pathetic that were so starved for this that it seems exceptional? This type of content was 95% of TV 30-40 years ago, but now its hard to find a straight, white Englishman on TV, and to find one with common-sense opinions that the majority share is near impossible.
@@malcolmf1381 And here we go with typical left-wing double standards and hypocrisy. If a black person or muslim expresses a wish to see black or muslim positive role-models on TV and media in general then thats perfectly fine. Likewise if theyre gay or trans. Ditto a woman. If any of them express a preference or even a desire for their MP to be the same as them thats fine. Its perfectly acceptable and logical that these groups of people empathise with poeple who are the same as them. But as soon as you substitute any of these for "straight/white/male" and god-forbid all 3, then that person is a bigoted, hateful, spiteful monster who is just one moustache away from committing genocide. The most hatred out there comes from the left.
@@ravenmasters2467 You seem to have a knee-jerk reaction to criticism, which is both identical to what you attempt to criticise, and is similarly predictable.

A man of integrity, my late father was a big fan and he would always say when the sun came out this is Boycott weather, and more often than not Boycott would grind his way to a big hundred either for Yorkshire or England, we could do with him now that's for sure.
I once asked Sir Geoffrey if I could have photo with him in the 70s. he put his arm round me as if we were the best of friends. It make for a great photo. This man is a true Gent.
I’m an American I love GB News, hope Mr Neil comes back, really enjoy Nigel, so much so I watched enjoyably I will add, his interview Sir Geoffrey, despite the fact I know nothing about test cricket.

Warm, brown, frothy beer being consumed, a chat about cricket and some common sense being spoken about life by two grand Englishmen. This warms the cockles of this middle-aged man's heart.
For Geoffrey when he was still a young batsman: “Freddy Trueman bowling at Headingley in the 1950s. Runs in almost from the boundary where we schoolboys were watching. The ball is at the body line and hits the batsman on his box. He goes down writhing in pain. Freddy loudly says “hey lad, don’t rub em, count em!”
He's often annoying, irritating, bloody minded and stubborn but I can count the number of times Sir Geoffrey Boycott was wrong about cricket on one hand and still have most fingers left.
@@sportysbusiness his argument was that the game should be sped up now due to the absurb cost of the daily tickets, for the sake of the fans. As for test cricket 40 years back... due to modern day tech and how 'quick and easy' life can be people these days potential new fans dont have the patience for 5 day tests. Slowing down the game can be a very useful tactical move but it doesnt adapt well in the modern day.
One of the best batsmen of all time and still bloody good value to listen too old school dont mince his words no boring cliches straight to the point like to see him back on tv especially cricket commentary.
Always loved Geoffrey, read my question out about Wally Hammond on bowl as Boyc's on ESPN cric info. Gave a wonderful response to it which I will never forget.
@@golfbulldog Just asking about how Hammond is very much forgotten because he played at the same time as Bradman and before Sobers, both of them widely regarded as the two best batsmen ever. Happen is overlooked by many people.

and "loukey" and "roobish"
Irishman, only new to cricket at 61, fantastic interview. What a super gentleman with strong values..Great interesting and informative Podcast.. keep it up👍
Hitler had strong values, so using that phrase doesn't make those values good.
WOW I am now a fan of Sir Geoffrey. The bloke talks common sense.
I never call any man Sir. You have to earn respect not just want it because of some English title given to you . Sir Geoffrey Boycott and many others in the old school English test cricketers have earned their respect . This coming from an Aussie test cricket lover and fan that believes in the ashes for ever .
Was never a big fan of cricket until the last ten years, it ain't so big in the North of Scotland... However, this was one of the most enjoyable interviews I have seen in a long time, Sir Geoffrey is a true gentleman speaking from the heart. He would make a great representative for the working class. Would love to meet him.
Isnt it absolutely pathetic that were so starved for this that it seems exceptional? This type of content was 95% of TV 30-40 years ago, but now its hard to find a straight, white Englishman on TV, and to find one with common-sense opinions that the majority share is near impossible.
WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Thank god I live in France where I am not surrounded by right wing bigots like Farage and your good self.
@@malcolmf1381 And here we go with typical left-wing double standards and hypocrisy. If a black person or muslim expresses a wish to see black or muslim positive role-models on TV and media in general then thats perfectly fine. Likewise if theyre gay or trans. Ditto a woman. If any of them express a preference or even a desire for their MP to be the same as them thats fine. Its perfectly acceptable and logical that these groups of people empathise with poeple who are the same as them. But as soon as you substitute any of these for "straight/white/male" and god-forbid all 3, then that person is a bigoted, hateful, spiteful monster who is just one moustache away from committing genocide. The most hatred out there comes from the left.
@@ravenmasters2467 You seem to have a knee-jerk reaction to criticism, which is both identical to what you attempt to criticise, and is similarly predictable. In essence however, you're arguing for a return to a status quo when ALL we saw were people who look and think and act just like you. That simply won't hold water.

A true Yorkshire man . I used to pass his house on the bus .
Was it like passing Mecca every morning ?
Wu, tha ed tu pass it, tha cudn't tek it wi thi! Boom Boom!
Its actually a massive bungalow if he's still there 🥴
Some claim to fame that is.
@@johnristheanswer well it was on the bus route lol
Absolutely love this guy, true brit.
Yes! 🇬🇧
A good interview, an man with a spine still intact, unlike the minority (but vocal majority) of UK citizens that feel they are owed???more than they deserve
'Talking Pints' fantastic show, always engaging and how refreshing that guests are actually allowed to freely answer questions without being talked over!
True. Farage is a good interviewer. No interruptions and no sneering.
@@chrismith251 of course, the fact he selects interviewees, makes sure they are entirely the same sort of fuckers who spout his unique brand of hatred (this time, a wife beater), and feeds them the usual middle aged white man crap, helps eh?
@@Edgel-in6bs sounded like they were talking about cricket to me.
But all the questions were submitted in advance?
No difficult ones.
Thank you Nigel and GB NEWS for getting Geoffrey on TV.... Sounds like the other networks n stations have cancelled him how rude
Nigel is a excellent interviewer. 👍
A man of integrity, my late father was a big fan and he would always say when the sun came out this is Boycott weather, and more often than not Boycott would grind his way to a big hundred either for Yorkshire or England, we could do with him now that's for sure.
I once asked Sir Geoffrey if I could have photo with him in the 70s. he put his arm round me as if we were the best of friends. It make for a great photo. This man is a true Gent.
I’m an American I love GB News, hope Mr Neil comes back, really enjoy Nigel, so much so I watched enjoyably I will add, his interview Sir Geoffrey, despite the fact I know nothing about test cricket.
Sir Geoffrey and Sir Nigel ,really wickitt.
like it .
@@nancyreid4512 Cheers 🍻 to you Nancy
Sir Geoffrey is a legend not only as a batsman but also as a cricket commentator. Thanks GBNews for allowing us to hear the legend. Love from India
Sir Geoffrey for P M we need someone with a backbone and I bet he wouldn't sod around with the Dinghy Doctors...
He smashed his wife's face in more than once. Yea let's make him pm. Ffs
@@marco29uk7 That was certainly an allegation.
@@marcusbradley3081 OK.
@@anatolyadyatlov7301 he was convicted, fined and given a suspended sentence and sacked. Moron.
@@marco29uk7 Yet Bill Clinton walks freely amongst us.
He’s forgotten more about cricket than the current box ticking commentators ever knew.
My goodness. I could have watched that for hours. Two great Englishman having a fascinating conversation about Brexit & Cricket.
What a marvellous interview that was.

@@ravenmasters2467 I'm 79, this isn't the G.B. I grew up in,
😄
Warm, brown, frothy beer being consumed, a chat about cricket and some common sense being spoken about life by two grand Englishmen. This warms the cockles of this middle-aged man's heart.
@@z0770z hopefully you will not make 80 then.
For Geoffrey when he was still a young batsman:
“Freddy Trueman bowling at Headingley in the 1950s. Runs in almost from the boundary where we schoolboys were watching. The ball is at the body line and hits the batsman on his box. He goes down writhing in pain. Freddy loudly says “hey lad, don’t rub em, count em!”
He's often annoying, irritating, bloody minded and stubborn but I can count the number of times Sir Geoffrey Boycott was wrong about cricket on one hand and still have most fingers left.
Well said. It did make me laugh when he talked about speeding up the game though, considering how often he used to slow the game down!
@@sportysbusiness his argument was that the game should be sped up now due to the absurb cost of the daily tickets, for the sake of the fans. As for test cricket 40 years back... due to modern day tech and how 'quick and easy' life can be people these days potential new fans dont have the patience for 5 day tests. Slowing down the game can be a very useful tactical move but it doesnt adapt well in the modern day.
Yes, yes, yes and yes
Well done Nigel. Talking pints is great. Get Sir Geoffrey on again, brilliant.
He should be commentating on the TV today.
He was in the commentry box for years.
Impossible nowadays. Woke ...lefty lovies !
@23 90 I suppose that's why he's so popular in India.
Maybe engage your brain once in a while
Damn right he should!
One of the best batsmen of all time and still bloody good value to listen too old school dont mince his words no boring cliches straight to the point like to see him back on tv especially cricket commentary.
Talking pints is just brilliant. And I remember Sir Geoffrey destroying bowlers without breaking sweat. Legend
I can listen to Sir Geoffrey talk all day.
I have always liked Geoffrey, but I am a Yorkshireman, so I would. But you have to admire his bluntness and honesty wherever you are from.
Well done Geoff; smart, clear-minded, and honest.
Nah, he's not smart, he thinks that Remain would win a new referendum... do you agree with him?
Sir Geoffrey Boycott - national treasure!!
Political correctness is the language of cowardice - Sir Billy Connolly.
Also the language of the BBC.
@@icdgyixifyinstereo 😂🤣😂 truth .
Always loved Geoffrey, read my question out about Wally Hammond on bowl as Boyc's on ESPN cric info. Gave a wonderful response to it which I will never forget.
What was the question? Wally Hammond was a legend.
@@golfbulldog Just asking about how Hammond is very much forgotten because he played at the same time as Bradman and before Sobers, both of them widely regarded as the two best batsmen ever. Happen is overlooked by many people.
Just LOVE this man's commentary (too young to have watched him bat)... His tone, slur, the absolutely critical analysis & insights ... Just awesome!!!!
.

He is the reason I learnt English too!!!

Huge respect for Sir Geoffrey ❤️🙏
I am a Yorkshireman, and Geoffrey is spot on.
next best to Lancashire then, nevermind at least you are not ---------------.
Wasn't he convicted of beating up his female partner? Top bloke my arse.
Great interview. Two fine Englishmen , who tell it as they see it.
Brilliant
Two of my greatest heroes together, having a chat over a pint. GBN is just getting better and better. I haven't watched sky since it started....I'm like a man denied oxygen gulping in great lungs full of air. And I think Alex Phillips is the broadcasting discovery of the century, simply outstanding. Thank you Andrew Neil, you saved my sanity.
Absolutely, same for me , really enjoying GB News.
You need to get out more, geez
@@shakeybill82 I got out of the EUSSR, what more do you want?.....lol
@@XKXOUzy5E9 Good Enough !
Comes from about 8 miles away from where I live one of the best 80 years old and still doing what he loves
If you look in the dictionary the word 'Cricket' the description should be Sir Geoffrey Boycott!
Talking Pints bringing in some great guests
Only Sir Nige seems to be supping tho!
In todays bbc/ecb woke world constructive criticism is no longer tolerated.Thats why they cancelled Boycs.
Yeah telling the truth gets you cancelled
Political correctness is like watching great evil unfold and doing nothing
The minority ruling the majority....let that sink in and its all based on lies
It is evil, follow Jesus Christ, the truth he is and teaches straight up no crap check it out
@@chrisdale7834 amen brother
Fantastic interview
Straight talking Yorkshireman and great cricketer.
He told her twice
@Spartacusshe spoke out of turn.
The EU is the continuation of Germany by other means. Well done Sir Geoffrey.
Like both of these Guys!!
Geoffrey boycott is one of th best commentaters in the world should never have been taken off TV or radio, disgraceful
Thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you both.
Had the honour to be on a cricket tour in Yorkshire and was surprised when Sir Geoffrey came on a batted at #3 . He knock up 100 not out in 50 balls, retired, and was gone before we came off the field ! No chance to get an autograph! Love the guy....
Put him in charge
Cricket. Like watching paint dry, but Boycott speaks a lot of sense. Sadly lacking these days!
Liley and Thompson were like watching paint dry ? You've got to be joking.
A legend and gentleman. Hats off to Sir Geoff 👍
One of the finest Cricketer's and a Very Frank Commentator.
What a great interview. Thank you Sir Geoffrey!!!
What a fantastic watch...both of you are legends!!
...well said Sir Geoffrey !
We need more commentators like James Hunt and Sir Geoffrey. People unafraid to express a negative comment about a well remunerated sportsperson.
