W. G. Grace

W. G. Grace was a famous British cricketer in the early 20th century. Sir Robert Muir compared the Fifth Doctor to him after a cricket game at Cranleigh Hall on 11 June 1925. Sir Robert referred to him as "the Master", which momentarily confused the Doctor as he believed that he was referring to his enemy of the same name. (TV: Black Orchid)

According to Kettoo, the Fifth Doctor told Peri Brown that he once bowled either W. G. Grace or W. C. Fields for a duck. (AUDIO: Urban Myths)

The Sixth Doctor once asked for his autograph in the presence of Evelyn Smythe. (PROSE: Mortlake)

Grace was Yukio Nakaguchi's cricketing hero; Nakaguchi grew a bushy, spade-shaped beard to copy him. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising)
