Gooch, who captained England in 34 of his 118 Test caps between 1975 and 1995, played alongside 113 different team-mates in Test matches.
That is not only the record of any English player, but also the world record.
English players feature heavily at the top of the list of record-holders. Four of the top five players with the most career Test team-mates are English, as are 11 of the top 13.
Second behind Gooch is former England all-rounder Frank Woolley, who won 64 caps for England between 1909 and 1934. He played alongside 111 different team-mates in that time.
James Anderson (109) and Wally Hammond (106) are the only other England players to have 100 or more career Test team-mates.
Former Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar and ex-West Indies batter Shivnarine Chanderpaul are the only non-English players to have played alongside over 100 team-mates in Test matches.
While Joe Root will become England's second-highest capped player in Test matches when they face Pakistan at Edgbaston, he remains some way of moving near the top of the all-time list for most career Test team-mates.
Of English players, Root ranks 17th for most team-mates played with on 85. That number puts him joint-24th of players from all nations for most career team-mates.
