EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and skill of George Hirst, one of Yorkshire and England's greatest all-rounders, as he plays a powerful leg-side shot during a cricket match. Born in Hull, Yorkshire in 1871, Hirst made his first-class debut for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1892 and went on to become a key figure in the team for the next two decades. A prolific run-scorer, Hirst amassed an impressive 36,185 runs in his first-class career, including 185 in a single innings, which remains the highest individual score for Yorkshire against Lancashire. As a bowler, Hirst was equally formidable, taking an astounding 2,719 wickets, making him the fifth-highest wicket-taker in the history of first-class cricket. Hirst's all-round abilities were instrumental in Yorkshire's dominance of English cricket during the early 20th century, and he was a regular member of the England team between 1902 and 1914. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures Hirst in his prime, demonstrating the power and grace of his leg-side shot. The image is a testament to Hirst's enduring legacy as one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the game, and a reminder of the rich heritage of Yorkshire cricket. George Hirst passed away in 1954, leaving behind a remarkable career and a lasting impact on the sport he loved. This photograph, with its timeless image of Hirst in action, serves as a powerful reminder of his contributions to the game and the joy he brought to countless spectators over the years.
