Sir Geoffrey reflects on life as an international cricketer, his favourite touring destinations, and amazing England wins against Australia, South Africa, India and the West Indies.
He also remembers two turbulent periods of his career: being dropped for slow scoring in 1967, and his self-imposed exile from the England team from 1974-1977.
And he recalls a remarkable return to the side in 1977 aged 36, which saw him score his hundredth hundred - at his home ground of Headingley, against Australia.
