La Collection Benaud

Richie Benaud may have retired but his legend lives on. Born in Penrith, Australia, Richie was a Test cricket all-rounder, who helped Australia climb back to the top of the cricketing pile back in the late '50s. 

This Aussie icon is famous the world over for his antics in the commentary box, and was well-known for his wardrobe full of less-than-colourful jackets; something suggested by Channel 9’s Kerry Packer to help him stand out from the crowd!

Packer’s suggestion must have stuck because Benaud is now one of the most well-known personalities in all cricket.


Grab yourself one of our La Colection Benaud shirts and celebrate the life and achievements of the man Gideon Haigh once described as "...perhaps the most influential cricketer and cricket personality since the Second World War."
