abstract:Geoffrey Wilson (21 August 1895 – 29 November 1960) was an English amateur first-class cricketer, who played ten matches for Cambridge University in 1919 and 1920, ninety two for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1919 and 1924, and thirteen more for the MCC in 1922/23 on a tour of Australia. He was Yorkshire's captain from 1922 to 1924.
He reveals what disease killed Hugh Gaitskell, the leader of the Labour Party before Harold Wilson, and which tie Sir Geoffrey Howe, the Conservative minister who did most to knock Margaret Thatcher off her perch, was wearing when he resigned.
