Next up it’s double County Championship winning Worcestershire skipper & long time Lincoln City left back PHIL NEALE on 18 November. Phil was also England Cricket’s Operations Manager for many years. It should be an interesting evening.

Today is the 50th anniversary of this iconic Garth Hope photograph, which shows Monton skipper Tony Elwood bowling against Warrington New Town at Quaker Bridge, on 4th September 1976. The non-striking batsman is Tony Almond & the fielder at mid-on Andy Allman.

Went to Headingley today for the 1st Test & parked at @StChadsCC on the Otley Road, North of the ground. Nice club with it’s own café serving tea, coffee, bacon or sausage barms & a range of cakes. Very civilised, very welcoming & I would far rather pay my £10 to a local club.
