Tell us what you think of this episode

Our Jan Gray talks to ex Glamorgan opener Geoff Ellis about his upbringing, his journey through a first class cricket career and what he was doing when he wasn't playing cricket.

Sounding much younger than his 70 years, Geoff remembers the good times playing against some of the greats of the game including Viv Richards and Barry Richards.  He also makes mention of the great Glamorgan players he played alongside such as Don Shepherd, Alan Jones, Majid Khan, Tony Lewis and Brian Davis.

He talks about the highlights of his career and the low points when he hit the front pages of the newspapers rather than the back of them.

What shines through all the chat is Geoff's love of the game and his lifelong commitment to it.
