80 years old (Born on May 20, 1944)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Keith Fletcher, affectionately known as "The Gnome of Essex"! The nickname always suited your cunning cricketing strategy and sharp wit on and off the field. Wisden got it right in 1974 when they named you Cricketer of the Year—clearly spotting talent hidden beneath that familiar county cap!From brilliantly captaining Essex between 1974-1985 (and adding another encore season in '88), you've given so many unforgettable performances filled with grit, heart—and let's admit—a wonderful gnomish charm! Your timeless legacy still inspires smiles today. Here's hoping celebrations are grander than any century at Chelmsford!
