I remember Ken Grieves captaining Lancashire in the early 1960s. I can’t see that he would have got many games with Bert Trautmann, who was one year older than Ken, ahead of him in the pecking order throughout the 1950sI remember thinking at the time, it would be nice to sign Ken Grieves. Outstanding cricketer for Lancs, played for Bolton, Stockport, Bury and Wigan. Sadly, we did not get his signature.
I'd have loved to see Jack Simmons turn out for City. Perhaps at full back, or maybe manning the pie shop.I remember thinking at the time, it would be nice to sign Ken Grieves. Outstanding cricketer for Lancs, played for Bolton, Stockport, Bury and Wigan. Sadly, we did not get his signature.
