- This is the history of the greatest county cricket club in England. Since its foundation in Sheffield in 1863, Yorkshire has won the County Championship 31 times outright. The club’s history is festooned with triumphs, controversy and outstanding players. This video, with the use of archive prints and photographs, very rare film footage and interviews, traces the complete history of Yorkshire from the colourful early professionals like “Sheffield’s Pride”, Tom Marsden, through the golden age of Lord Hawke’s captaincy, the phenomenal feats of the legendary Hirst and Rhodes to the invincible Brian Sellers’ team of the 1930s. A team that included two of Yorkshire’s finest bowlers, Bill Bowes and Hedley Verity, and the outstanding England opening batsmen Herbert Sutcliffe and Leonard Hutton. Post-war newsreels show the triumphs of the all-conquering Brian Close team of the 1960s and how Yorkshire carried on producing an apparently endless list of outstanding players such as Wardle, Watson, Trueman, Illingworth, Hampshire, Boycott, Old, Bairstow and Moxon. There are also interviews with the players from these glorious times revealing some of the secrets of their successes, including the great Sir Leonard Hutton’s last interview before his sad death in September 1990. Recent victories are also illustrated, in the Gillette and Benson and Hedges Cups and John Player League, and the internal strife which tore the club apart in the 1980s. Finally, there is a look behind the scenes of the present Yorkshire Club, showing the latest developments which the county hope will help them recapture some of the triumphs of earlier times. This video is essential viewing for all cricket lovers, and is a unique record of the most successful team in the history of English cricket.

Thanks for uploading
1:03:10 love the Welsh commentary!!
Yorkshire is the most famous of English counties, especially at cricket. I think we need the English cricket system to help other European nations, such as Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and the Netherlands to have strong national cricket sides. Wales, has a strong county team in Glamorgan, but why not have county teams from Scotland and Ireland in the County Championships to help cricket grow in these nations? We need stronger cricket in Europe.
It might be down to the lack of support for cricket in countries like France. It could work in Scotland and Ireland.
RIP Harry Gration
No sport has a such a rich tradition history
Of being overbearing and bullying. Boycott story sums it up. As a young cricketer, who didn't drink alcohol, asked the Captain for an orange juice. Reply from his Captain in front of a crowded room... "You can buy your own bloody orange juice!" And that's Yorkshire.
This game is very strange. for batter it is very dangerous very complex game
In the class riven society of the uk up to the 60s and beyond, 🎉amateur sportsmen looked down on their professional counter parts, especially in cricket, tennis and rugby.
To the people who love English cricket ❤️
A young Peter Such bowling to Boycott!!
Yorkshire feels like a old school
I'm a Yank, but my wife is from the Commonwealth. Through her, I've been trying to learn this game better. [We Yanks look at scores of 345 to 96 and think, "What fun can that be to watch?"] Once my wife and I watched a final two hours of one day test on TV and she explained the subtleties enough that I sensed its complexities and excitement. I'm learning more all the time.
So I have a question. What was so controversial that Brian Close asked, "So what are we going to talk about?" Is it that he didn't address the man by title?
From Wikipedia, this of a 1949 match: "[H]e was congratulated by the Gentlemen's wicket-keeper, Billy Griffith, who said: "Well played, Brian", to which Close responded: "Thank you, Billy". Ten days later, he was called to see Brian Sellers, a member of the Yorkshire committee, who reprimanded Close for his effrontery in not addressing an amateur player as "Mister".
Was the class system so well-rooted, even in post-war Britain, that such things were enough to send a guy packing? (I'm NOT critical. I AM fascinated.)
Lastly, I've never seen Wiki sports pages maintained with such up-to-date data as cricket. On April 1 of this year, 2021, I was reading a cricket article with reference to March 2021 scores!
There's got to be something great about a sport that can maintain such statistical fervor.
Yes. Up until a certain time, only gentlemen were allowed to captain teams. Read up on Douglas Jardine and Larwood and the aftermath of Bodyline.
