Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff, MBE, is an English professional cricketer who plays for Lancashire County Cricket Club. A former England Test international, Flintoff has also played for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. A tall fast bowler, batsman and slip fielder, Flintoff was consistently rated by the ICC as being among the top international allrounders in both ODI and Test cricket. Following his debut in 1998, he became an integral player for England, serving as both captain and vice-captain of the team. However, he suffered regular injuries throughout his international career, often due to his heavy frame and bowling action. During the period 2007?09 he played in only 13 of England's 36 Test matches, but nevertheless remained a core member of the England squad, being selected whenever available. 

December 6th, 1977 in Preston (Age 47)
