Herbert
Sutcliffe (1894-1978)
Wisden Cricketer of the year 1920
One of England's best ever batsmen (what wouldn't we give for his like
now?).
Yorkshire through and through and always dapper at the crease. Beaten
by a ball, no problem, play each ball on it's merits. Born in Pudsey
(as was Len Hutton and, presumably, Pudsey Bear!).
First edition cover of Herbert Sutcliffe's autobiography.
(Bought at a boot sale, the seller knew it was a first edition but it
cost less than I thought it would).
