Dooogs Mar 2021 7:51am, 17 Mar 2021 6,504 posts	0 Dooogs Four English Test Dereks - the three obvious ones plus Derek Shackleton, who it turns out wasn't a polar explorer but did play 7 Tests over 13 (!) years up to 1963... (Aside: are Dereks a dying or extinct breed?). I dont think I've ever met one, or even a Del, born since, say, 1970...)
