One of my favourite sportsmen of yesterday year Wille Watson who was born and bred in Bolton-On-Derne pit Village which would be classed as Rotherham these days.

Played 4 times for England including the 1954 World Cup and football wise managed Halifax and Bradford in the 50s and 60s.

Club football he played for Huddersfield, Sunderland and Halifax.

 

I think I am right in saying he was the last double international for football and cricket something I don't think will ever happen again.

Played 23 Tests for England as a batsmen and over 400 times for Yorkshire and Leicestershire.

 

Fantastic sporting record!
