In 1995 Graham Gooch announced his retirement from international cricket. This cartoon, borrowing from a joke in a Goodies annual about Charles Bronson's acting prowess, appeared soon after.

The cartoon later appeared in Graham Gooch's autobiography (co-written with Frank Keating) as well as that year's Wisden cricket annual. According to then Wisden editor Matthew Engel, Frank Keating had the cartoon on his toilet wall. It's great when one of your drawings forges a new life for itself.
