  George Thompson (cricketer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Thompson (George Joseph Thompson (Born in Northampton, October 27, 1877 – March 3, 1943 in Bristol) was the mainstay of the Northamptonshire county cricket eleven for a long period encompassing both their days as a minor county and their earliest years in the County Championship.
George Thompson first played for Northamptonshire when they were not first-class as a teenager.
Thompson rebounded so well in 1909 that he had his best season on record, taking 163 wickets and playing for England at Edgbaston (where his bowling was not required because George Herbert Hirst and Colin Blythe were so deadly).

Listed on IMDb as a 'comedy', I must admit that the words of one character rang true with me when she said of a TV play 'I thought you said this was a comedy – well it probably gets more comedy later on'.
As a sports film it is a non-event with very little actual cricket 'action' to speak of – but I imagine many viewers will enjoy the very English conclusion to Sam's career, typically downbeat and warming.
