In my youth I went to the Yorkshire cricket ground, I saw Len Hutton, Freddy Truman, Willy Watson and many more. I also went to the rugby football ground for many years. Now I support rugby union.

My sister had a flat in Cardigan Road overlooking cricket ground and she used to sit on the roof just outside her window and watch the cricket in the 1970's but couldnt see all the ground!

A year after this pic was taken I saw my first Test Match at Headingley and witnessed the greatest test batsman ever-Sir Don Bradman crucify the English attack. I have remained a fervent Cricket lover ever since. Four Years later I saw Lewis Jones Leeds' best ever, play his first game for Leeds at the Rugby Stadium.
