One of them has not previously appeared here on Liberal England. The Bureau of Sabotage is astounded to find a double-barrelled cricketer turning out for Yorkshire, but I quote an observation of his on football:
I remember Plymouth Argyle’s clogging centre-half Forbes Phillipson-Masters, who talked like Adge Cutler and who had his own terrace chant that started “Give us an ‘F’ – ‘F’”, “Give us an ‘O’ – ‘O’” and went through all the letters of his name including “Give us a hyphen – Hyphen”.

Almost as astounding is that Yourkshire have an Oxford Blue - Joe Sayers - in the team; the first, I think, since Steve Coverdale in the late 1970s. Coverdale only made a handful of appearances for Yorkshire because the late lamented Bluey Bairstow - whose youngest is now making his own mark for God's Own Country - was firmly in possession of the stumper's gloves; a frustration that also pushed Steve Rhodes out later on.
