United player Ted Hemsley was playing for Worcestershire. Ruined a good cricket ground. Using it for football ruined a good cricket venue IMO. Went as a kid, to watch the touring West Indies side. But it had rained overnight, so we sat on the pavement waiting for the turnstiles to open. The days play was subsequently called off at lunchtime, so we didn’t even get in - so I never saw Sobers “live”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWLS about that?

Remember talk of the stadium being used for Rock concerts back in the 80's and 90's but it didn't happen. Will we ever get our act together? Don't want that melt or his groupies anywhere near Hillsborough....be like grab a grannie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great sportsman - transcends all loyalties. I saw Tendulkar too, in his last game the Oval - IIRC he was out for a duck. Tendulkar (for those who have any interest, was the first non Yorkshireman to play for Yorkshire- aged 16). I still think Yorkshire should only select from those born within its boundary - it made us special. Parochial but, special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if he has had botox/plastic surgery - but the last time I saw him, he looked pretty good TBH. Not a big Rod fan - but he had two careers/phases. The early Rod/Faces, was excellent. Loved some of his early stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Billy Graham were the two big gigs. Was it the 80’s - Cant remember now. The cricket would have been in the sixties/ early seventies.
