Redfyre Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 How about a few memories of some popular and outstanding local League cricketers down the years. Every club has had its share of notable players and great characters, and it would be good to get a few tales being told. Think of people like George Pope when he was at Sheffield United; Frank Melling, the old United captain; Ike Baxter, of Elsecar and Whitley Hall; Arnie Mellor, of Rawmarsh and Thorncliffe Rec. I've also been trying to get a similar debate going on http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/sheffieldsport, but it seems all the cricketers have gone to Australia (or India) for the winter.

LBW0 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Jamesey Old thread I know but I have a couple of cricket photos photos from when I played with Jim in representative cricket. Not sure how I can get these to you though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voldy Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi LBW0, have a look at the thread (on the History & Expats section) "Completion of City Hall" post #8 by hillsbro on 15th Feb 2016 for one way of posting pictures accepted by this Forum. You could also 'google' "Posting pictures on Forums" for more help. My local playing days ended in the early 60's when veterans George Pope and Ike Baxter were still captaining league teams I played against. It seems to be difficult to stir up interest in Cricket threads as previous attempts have shown. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBW0 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks There is an old stump somewhere here that my dad kept as a memento after he broke it in half bowling out Ike Baxter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
