You're ****ting me, right? No bellowing buffoon on the mike, the freedom to roam and sit where you like (pavilion accepted), no one scoffing 1' long hot dogs etc
I don't know where those 2 men that were interviewed where educated - obviously - but there wasn't a flat vowel to be heard between them.
Beverley, obvs Funny though, the interviewer reminded me of Morse in the Endeavour series, and his first interviewee reminded me of Chief Inspector Bright.
That was me last month for Movember, the Olli Reed / Magnum look that is. The Missus handed me my shaver first thing last Friday morning, she bloody hates it every November.
That was for the three day game tho wasn't it? Still played Sunday league into the early 80's I seem to remember??
I didn't know that , 1990 seems relatively recent , I read the last 'first class' game was 1974 , hard to find much detailed info
The List A matches go up to 1990, as do some Second XI matches... https://cricketarchive.com/Yorkshire/Grounds/540.html
Well you're wrong. Sit where you want round the boundary , bring your own collapsible chairs, drinking allowed facing the pitch etc DON'T WALK IN FRONT OF THE SIGHT SCREEN
That's great. Never seen that before although I was at the game. Those were the days. I had started going to City in 64 and saw the great 65-66 team and the expectation was they would reach the First division soon. Yorkshire were winning the cricket championship every year . England winning the World Cup. I just expected that's how it would always be. How wrong I was until that magical day 50 years later.
It wasn't 68 that this happened but remember watching Yorkshire at the Circle in. 3 dayer Boycott nearly got a ton 97 I think queued up in a line after the days play to get his autograph Right no talking he said so we obeyed as you did as young kids Same game I saw a face in the crowd who seemed familiar just standing with everyone else Excuse me Sir Len could I have your autograph Yes son he was there watching his son Richard play no pretensions Used to go the Circle to watch City train Cliff Britton gave me a lift back to the ground then I had a paperound down Boothferry road ,on my bike City bobblehat on he used to wave On his way home in his Rover gee I am getting sentimental but things were different then
It's come up before but I saw them in the 80s at The Circle, Jim Love is my main memory, smashing the ball all over. It was a shame that all that ended, some nice Sundays.
I used to go with my grandad - a great Yorkshire supporter who, much to my surprise, was actually from Norfolk. I have a vague recollection of seeing Yorkshire clinch the title against Somerset who had their England fast bowler Fred Rumsey playing and his bum was so big it blocked out the sun. Hull's big contribution to Yorkshire cricket at the time was Jimmy Binks (ace wicketkeeper).
Reminds of a gem from Fred Trueman years ago. 'To be good fast bowler tha's got t'ave a great fat arse. That's why that Darren Gough can bowl.'
