As you will already know there was a few who had dual careers as footballers and cricketers.

Ridgewalk 95 #18 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Hi Alan. your mums cousin was part of a great Yorkshire team, that swept all before them. Late 1950s early 1960s. I remember Ted, met him a few years ago. Footballer/cricketers weren’t uncommon then, The two games were clearly demarcated which enabled players to play in winter and summer, days before football became the all consuming behemoth that it is today. More recently Arnie Sidebottom, and Ian Botham Edited May 3, 2019 by Ridgewalk ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Grappler 12 #24 Posted May 4, 2019 My earliest memory, from around 69/70 was Mick Speight wearing boots with fluorescent stripes down the side, first ones I had ever seen, pestered my parents to get me some for Christmas (they did).
