Pierre Etchebaster

Despite losing to Fred Covey in 1927, Etchebaster returned in his customary blue beret to win the world championship in London in 1928.

He defended the title seven times — a feat unmatched until 2006 when Robert Fahey made his seventh title defense (Fahey has now (2012) successfully defended his title ten times).
