Garry Sobers was born with two extra fingers - one on each hand. He removed them himself as a boy, using catgut and a sharp knife.
Sobers would go on to become the most complete cricketer to play the game. A graceful and destructive left-handed batsman, a left-arm bowler equally skilled at delivering pace and spin, and a brilliant fielder in any position, Sobers was named one of the five leading cricketers of the 20th century by the sport's Wisden Almanack.
