Rare early hardback edition The following twelve lots were formerly the property of Herbert Sutcliffe, Yorkshire & England 1919-1945. The items were given to the vendors Husband and parents, the Husband being Sutcliffe’s gardener as a youth and his parents looked after Herbert when they were neighbours in Ilkley, Yorkshire. The vendor has provided the following information:- We lived on the same road in Ilkley as Herbert Sutcliffe from about 1966 for ten years or so. My Mum and Dad helped care for him and Mrs Sutcliffe before he had to move into a retirement home. As a teenager I first used to wash his car (a Bentley) and then helped keep his garden tidy. When Herbert was sorting out some of his papers he asked my Dad if would like any of them, that’s where the collection I now have came from. I remember that Herbert also asked me to burn a lot of old photos, etc., which I did in a bonfire at the bottom of his garden. Luckily those he gave my Dad escaped that fate!. I inherited the box of papers after my Dad died.” The collection includes items from the M.C.C. tour of Australia 1924/25, where Sutcliffe became the first batsmen to score a century in each innings of a Test against Australia and became the first to score three successive hundreds in Test cricket. He went on to score a further century in the 4th Test played at Melbourne
