The Unorthodox Legend: Sir Garfield Sobers' Enduring Legacy Sir Garfield Sobers is widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers in history.
Born on July 28, 1936, in St Michael's, Barbados, but raised in Trinidad and Tobago, Sobers' early life laid the foundation for an illustrious career that spanned over three decades.
Growing up in a close knit community, Sobers was introduced to cricket at a young age by his father, a farmer and part time coach.
