Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Yorkshire County Cricket: 1833-1903 My own hobby in cricket has been the welfare of the County professionals, and I am deeply interested in noticing the recent advancement in them. No doubt in the old days the paid player was looked on too much as a machine. I do not think County Committees in the past paid enough attention to them. I have repeatedly instilled into my Committee the view that the more they respect the player the more he will respect him self. Speaking for myself, not only am I on terms of genuine friendship with all who are representing Yorkshire, but I honestly believe I look forward even more than they do to the annual occasion on which they are my guests. I began by giving them a dinner at Brighton, but subsequently offered them their choice between that and a day at Wighill. They have selected the latter, and the date of our yearly gathering has become a red letter day in my own calendar.

Download or read book Tom Emmett The Spirit of Yorkshire Cricket written by Jeremy Lonsdale and published by Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Hawke called Tom Emmett ‘the greatest “character” who ever stepped on to the field’. Born in Halifax in 1841, Emmett worked as a mill hand and did not make his Yorkshire debut until 1866. Almost at once he was part of the most destructive fast bowling partnership in England with George Freeman. In the 1860s, he once took 16 wickets for Yorkshire in an afternoon. In the 1870s, only one other player scored over 4,000 runs and took over 400 wickets in English cricket: W.G.Grace. Emmett had his best ever season with the ball in the 1880s, aged nearly 45. In all first-class cricket, he took over 1,500 wickets at under 14, bowling in an idiosyncratic style which included wides and balls ‘which no man had ever seen or dreamed of before’. For three decades, Emmett travelled endlessly to appear in club and county matches, and went to Australia three times in five years, appearing in the first Test match. He set records and won games, but also played in a style which at one time made him ‘the most popular professional in England.’ He pleased cricket followers with his wit and enthusiasm, but his life had a large share of tragedy. How he handled those highs and lows made him the true spirit of Yorkshire cricket.

Download or read book Frank Sugg A Man For All Seasons written by Martin Howe and published by Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Older readers may remember scoring runs with a Frank Sugg cricket bat or kicking a Frank Sugg football. Younger readers may find such implements, or even a model boat bearing his name ‘in the attic’. His cricket and football annuals are collectors’ items. Sugg (1862-1933) was born in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, but spent his formative years in Sheffield. A grammar school boy, he decided to forgo a legal career to become a professional cricketer, in breach of Victorian convention. After an unsuccessful start in first-class cricket with Yorkshire, he joined Derbyshire but later moved across the Pennines, where he played as a hard-hitting batsman, a ‘smiter’, for Lancashire and, in 1888, twice for England. With his brother Walter, Frank Sugg opened a sports shop business in Liverpool in 1888 and by 1914 it had grown into one of the leading businesses of its kind. The firm failed in the 1920s although an offshoot, based in Sheffield, continued to trade until 2001. A Christian Scientist by faith, Frank Sugg was a fitness enthusiast and involved himself in various sports. He played, briefly, for several leading football clubs, took up long-distance swimming, and was a local champion at athletics, billiards, bowls, and golf. With his brother Walter, he bought racehorses. An appetite for gambling on horses apparently cost him a lot of money. Perhaps as an act of charity, he was given a county umpire’s job at the age of 64. Frank died suddenly, aged 71 years, soon after the death of his brother and is buried in an unmarked public grave, for reasons which remain unclear. He certainly knew hard times at the close of his life, but Martin Howe reports on Frank Sugg as more of an entertainer and a ‘laddish’ character.
