EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the 1940s, a time when cricket matches served as a source of unity and support during challenging times. The image captures an intense Red Cross cricket match at Headingley between Herbert Sutcliffe VI and Maurice Leyland V. Standing proudly on the right is none other than England cricketer Maurice Leyland himself, exuding confidence and determination. With his bat resting on his shoulder, he gazes into the distance with unwavering focus. To his left stands Bill Bowes, another prominent figure in English cricket history. Their presence alone speaks volumes about the significance of this event. The atmosphere surrounding the match is palpable; spectators eagerly fill every available space around the field, their eyes fixed on these sporting heroes who have come together for a noble cause. It's clear that this game holds great importance beyond mere competition – it symbolizes resilience and camaraderie amidst wartime challenges. As we admire this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate how sport has always had a unique ability to bring people together across generations. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and collective spirit during difficult periods like World War II
