Once saw Middlesex all out for 23 at Headingley

Sunday League.

 

What was he like Owen ?

Sir Len Hutton ?</p>

</p>

 

Rocker Robinson mate, what a bowler! nt

 

Did he take 9 for something ?

Much maligned was old Marky-boy. I met him trhough a mutual mate (Jeremy Batty) and he was scared sh1tless of the Yorkshire public. Used to be physically sick before big games.

 

Way before that I'm afraid. You were only a lad!

Arthur 'Rocker' Robinson, mid-seventies. Big left-arm seamer.

 

Durham 38-6 now ! nt

 

Here you go, and there was a Hutton playing too.

and I seem to remember a delay after Rocker bowled Murray to look for a bail.

They found it on the boundary! It was a difficult pitch.

 

I'm not that young.

Saw my first match in 75 and started going by myself to Park Avenue in the 6 week hols. I was only 9 ! Walked up from Lidget Green and watched all day with my scorebook. 9 years old ! Wouldn't let Tom go to that part of the world now by himself.

 

I wouldn't go there by myself, never mind the kids!

My first game was Gillette Cup semi-final in 69 against Notts at Scabbyboro. Sir Garfield was playing for them. Was a memberthrough seventies, I remember my first annual membership fee was &pound;1.65p! And that included the Test match at Headingley!
