William Gilbert Grace (W.G. Grace) was a Doctor by profession but also one of the best amateur cricketers Gloucestershire has ever produced. With a record that is extraordinary, the Bristol born legend has still left his mark on the modern game today.
With a career spanning almost forty years, Grace began first class cricket for Gloucestershire back in 1865.
