The image captures two legendary players from Lancashire County Cricket Club, Noddy Pullar and Alan Wharton, as they confidently stride onto the field at Old Trafford. Geoffrey "Noddy". Pullar, standing on the left side of the frame, was a true stalwart for Lancashire. Over his impressive career spanning from 1954 to 1968, he played an astounding 312 first-class matches for his beloved club. With a remarkable tally of 16,853 runs and an impressive count of 32 centuries under his belt, it is no wonder that he earned himself a place in England's test team for 28 matches. Alan Wharton stands beside him with equal poise and determination.
