Sir Geoffrey Boycott Credits Wife for Recovery

Sir Geoffrey Boycott, the 83-year-old cricket legend, credits his wife Rachael with saving his life after he was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia following throat cancer surgery. After initially feeling well post-operation, Boycott's health deteriorated rapidly, causing confusion and severe drops in his blood oxygen levels. Rachael's quick thinking, using a pulse oximeter, prompted her to call an ambulance, leading to his diagnosis and treatment for pneumonia. Boycott expressed gratitude for the support from fans and the NHS as he recovers at home. He emphasized the critical role his wife played during this health crisis, stating, 'She saved my life, no doubt about that.' Boycott's family had previously communicated concerns regarding his health through social media updates.
