Men Who Look Like Graham Gooch, No 16: John Wilkes Booth

Jwbooth Our great quest continues as we journey into the past with one of the most notorious men in American history.  No, not OJ Simpson, John Wilkes Booth.

Not only do this fella and the mighty Gooch share a passing resemblance they also share a questionable race relations record.  Graham famously went on a rebel tour to SA, in the process getting himself banned from playing cricket for England.  Booth didn't like the idea of ending slavery so shot Abraham Lincoln and ended up being killed himself in a farmhouse a couple of weeks later.

See, like peas in a pod!
