EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sussex Cricketers in the 1920s, with the spotlight on John Langridge honing his skills in the nets. Despite being hailed as one of the finest English cricketers of the 20th century, Langridge's career was marked by a bittersweet twist. He never had the opportunity to represent his country in a Test match. Langridge's unwavering dedication and exceptional talent were showcased during his remarkable tenure at Sussex from 1928 to 1955. However, fate dealt him an unfortunate hand when he was selected for the ill-fated 1939-40 tour of India, which ultimately succumbed to cancellation due to World War II. In this timeless image from circa 1929, we witness Langridge's sheer determination and passion for cricket radiating through every pore. His poised stance and focused gaze epitomize a true sportsman committed to perfecting his craft. Memory Lane Prints presents us with an extraordinary glimpse into cricket history, reminding us that greatness can sometimes be overshadowed by circumstances beyond our control. This photograph immortalizes not only John Langridge but also serves as a testament to all those unsung heroes who have dedicated their lives to sport without receiving international recognition. Let this mesmerizing print transport you back in time and inspire you with its tale of resilience and unyielding love for cricket - a tribute to those whose names may not grace record books but whose spirit remains eternally woven into the
