Sir Geoffrey Boycott
The Prince of Kolkata. How often did we hear Sir Geoffrey Boycott say that in commentary about Sourav Ganguly.

It was he, the former England captain, who coined that term and has not stopped being a Ganguly admirer.
Boycott, 80, was pained to hear about Ganguly's recent heart attack and sent him an email message through our correspondent Debasish Datta.
We reproduce Boycott's comforting words and advice to Ganguly:
To my friend Sourav,
Very sad to hear of your heart problem, but so pleased that people got you to hospital in time.
Doctors all over the world can do wonderful things now, so please listen to the medical advice. Don't go back to working full-time too quickly. Lots of people all over the world want you to return to full health. Time is a great healer.
You were a great captain and wonderful batsman for India and we love you.
I am aware of your prominent position at the BCCI and I know you will be an excellent administrator, but your family needs you to recover to full health; family is most important. Think of your wife Donna and daughter Sana. Cricket is a huge part of your life, but they are the more precious and important than cricket.
Get well no matter how long it takes.
Love you lots. Always.
Geoffrey
Sir Geoffrey Boycott OBE
