Description
At the start of the 1959 season, Yorkshire had not won an outright County Championship for 13 years, in those days an unthinkable scenario for White Rose players and supporters.
By 1969, they had set the record straight in the most emphatic manner, winning seven Championships and lifting the Gillette Cup twice to establish their place in the pantheon of County Cricket's greatest teams. Players such as Fred Trueman, Brian Close, Raymond Illingworth, Geoffrey Boycott, Richard Hutton (son of Sir Len) Mel Ryan and Bob Platt feature in Magnificent Seven and tell their story of these successful years in their own words.
Magnificent Seven will appeal to both Yorkshire supporters and followers of the national summer game - order your copy today.
