Born on February 14, 1970

Herbert Strudwick played 28 Test matches for England and never dropped a catch. Not one. 60 dismissals behind the stumps — 52 catches, 8 stumpings — zero errors. He kept wicket in an era when gloves were thin leather mittens and pitches were unpredictable. He played his last Test at 46. When he finally retired from first-class cricket at 47, he'd made 1,493 dismissals in 675 matches. He died in 1970, ninety years old, his record still standing: the only England wicketkeeper with a perfect Test match record.
