William Gilbert (WG) Grace was born into a cricket loving family. With all his immediate family playing cricket WG Grace developed an interest at the age of just 6 years, he began playing during that game he was watching (England Gentlemen vs. Derbyshire Gentlemen) WG ran onto the pitch, exclaiming "I want a go! I want a go!" The batsman, being a gentleman, handed the bat to the young bearded man. WG Grace, very excited at this point, faced a spin ball heading from off to leg and to middle to leg and hit it for 16 runs. He then carried on to make 102* batting by himself. Until he had to go home.
