- Book Synopsis
- Through a superb selection of over 200 old photographs and significant items of memorabilia, this book illustrates the history of Worcestershire County Cricket Club from its humble nineteenth-century beginnings to the present day. This encompasses the five County Championship triumphs, a Benson & Hedges Cup success, the winning of the NatWest Trophy and three Sunday League titles. Many rare and exotic items are included among these images - for instance, the scorecard from Ted Arnold and William Burns' (then) County Championship record fifth wicket stand of 393 against Warwickshire at Edgbaston in 1909. Special attention is, of course, paid to the great players and characters that have represented the county over the decades - men such as H.K. Foster, Fred Root, Reg Perks, Graeme Hick and the prodigiously talented Don Kenyon. With detailed captions form historian Les Hatton, this will delight anyone with an interest in Worcestershire County Cricket Club or the history of the great game itself. Older supporters will have many memories rekindled by this book whilst younger followers will receive a wonderful glimpse of the way things used to be.
