In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic Roses Match at Headingley in 1956. The image captures the moment when Geoffrey Edrich and Alan Wharton, two legends of Lancashire County Cricket Club (C. C. C), confidently stride out to open the batting for their team. Geoffrey Edrich, a stalwart of Lancashire cricket, had an illustrious career spanning from 1946 to 1958. With his elegant stroke play and unwavering determination, he accumulated an impressive total of 14,730 runs across his 332 first-class matches for Lancashire. Alan Wharton was another formidable force on the cricket field. Having played for Lancashire between 1946 and 1960, Wharton's contribution to the team cannot be understated. Scoring a remarkable tally of 17,921 runs along with twenty-five centuries in his distinguished career truly solidified his place as one of Lancashire's finest cricketers. Notably, he even represented England in a test match against New Zealand in 1949. Beyond their cricketing prowess, both players were multi-talented individuals. Wharton showcased his versatility by also playing rugby league for Salford during his sporting journey. This extraordinary photograph encapsulates not only the skill and dedication exhibited by these two exceptional athletes but also serves as a testament to the rich history and legacy of Lancashire C. C. C itself.
