Dickie Bird was an opening batsman for Yorkshire. Due to the large number of openers on their books, he couldn't nail down an opening slot.
He got a chance, when regular opener Ken Taylor was on England duty.
He scored a huge 181 not out, his only ever century, but was dropped for the next game when Taylor returned.
The opposition at Bradford on that day in 1959 was - Glamorgan. Well, it would be
He never opened again for Yorkshire.
One of cricket's great characters.
RIP.
