 Adam Gilchrist - Richmond Cricket Club
Adam Gilchrist, voted Australia's finest ever one-day cricketer, the man who has hit more 6's in Test cricket that any other and Australia's most successful wicketkeeper, played for Richmond for the 1989 season.
Prior to the game Adam and Chris Goldie both gave good interviews, which is not always the case as many sports interviews are what one might call a “challenge” to edit into any sort of cohesive structured thought.
Fortunately Chris’s comments about Adam’s talent turned out to be prophetic, and the BBC archive was duly enriched by the best sporting “before they were famous” since QPR and England star Gerry Francis featured as a 12 year old in an item about pigeon racing.

Gilchrist was, of course, a great team man. His own records and milestones mattered to him.
