I. J. (“Jack”) Good was a leading Bayesian statistician for more than half a century after World War II, playing an important role in the postwar Bayesian revival. But his graduate training had been in pure mathematics rather than statistics (one of his doctoral advisors at Cambridge had been the famous G. H. Hardy).
