England legend Brian Close 'angers Geoff Boycott's wife by smoking'

England legend Brian Close has reportedly angered the wife of his former teammate Geoff Boycott by smoking at Headingley.

England legend Brian Close has reportedly angered his former teammate Geoff Boycott's wife by smoking at Headingley.

The ex-cricketers have previously had spats with one another, but it appears that the feud could have been reignited due to Boycott's wife Rachel.

It is believed that the Yorkshire president's other half was unhappy to see Close puffing on a cigarette in one of the non-smoking rooms at Headingley during the fourth day of the second Test between England and New Zealand, according to the Daily Mail.

The duo previously got into a war of words when Boycott blamed then-England captain Close in 1967 for not backing him when selectors dropped him for slow scoring against India.
