One of Broughton Cricket Club's finest all-rounders of the past, Fred Graves, in an after-match shot kindly supplied from the club archives by Neil Simpson.Fred was a fast bowler who bowled at the stumps, and a batsman who could hit the ball a long way - and often. Which he did for years in Broughton's cause.
Just after Brigg had got into the Lincs League for the first time, in the late 1970s, we won some early-season games and then visited Broughton - full of confidence.
We then came up against Fred for the first time, making about 30 all-out, in which 'yours truly' managed a couple of snicks through the slips for four.
