Additionally, he presided over 92 tests between the years 1983 and 2005. The image captures a significant moment in cricket history as it showcases David Shepherd proudly donning the first black coat ever worn by an umpire in two centuries of cricket.

Standing tall at six feet and weighing sixteen stone (224 pounds), Shepherd exudes confidence while displaying the new coat at Lords Cricket Ground on February 7th, 1996.
