Thread Name: Yorkshire Relish?
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Relish?
I remember a real bit of Yorkshire Relish. One August Bank Holiday Saturday between 1964-1966. Glorious weather. Roses Match at Headingley and the western terraces in blazing sunshine. The match had started on the Friday and the haplass Lancashire side were bowled out during the day (a certain Fred Trueman had taken 7 wickets for not a lot). Yorkshire had already started their reply and without the loss of toomany wickets had got near the Lancs total.. A young Boycott was playing (and he got a few!) and with some mid afternoon lusty blows from |Trueman and Wilson Yorkshire built up a good lead. Then Lancs had to bat again. By the close of play most of them had been and gone (only noddy Puller seemed to survive). Tont Nicholson got a good bag of wickets... Needless to say Lancs lost on the Monday (no Sunday play then)..... Now that was real YORKSHIRE RELISH steam train journey home just rounded it off!!! Mind you the effects of the sunburn lasted a few days!
