This popped up in my YouTube feed today for some reason and brought back memories.
Growing up in County Durham meant I had no first class county to follow.
Couldn't support the nearest - Yorkshire , the enemy so I went with Glamorgan, who to my pleasure became county champions in 1969 - the only year in which I bought a Wisden.
Majid Khan and Malcolm Nash were my two 'heroes'.
I felt bad for Nash when this happened but Sobers could play could he not?
I became a member of Durham when they became a first class county in 92 and held a membership for a number of year until I realised I was never going back and cricket became just a memory.
