EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary cricketer Len Hopwood, representing Lancashire County Cricket Club during the 1928 season. A true all-rounder, Hopwood's remarkable career spanned from 1923 to 1939, amassing an impressive tally of 397 first-class appearances for his beloved county. With a staggering total of 15,519 runs under his belt, including an outstanding collection of 27 centuries, he proved himself as a formidable force on the pitch. Additionally, Hopwood's bowling prowess cannot be overlooked; he claimed a staggering 672 wickets throughout his career. Although primarily known for his contributions to Lancashire cricket, Hopwood also had the honor of representing England in two tests during the fiercely competitive Ashes series in 1934. However, it is worth noting that despite his exceptional skills and dedication to the sport, he holds an unusual record in test cricket history - bowling a remarkable total of 462 deliveries without taking a single wicket. Preserved by Colorsport Images and expertly captured by Wilkes' lensmanship expertise, this print immortalizes Len Hopwood's legacy as one of Lancashire's most revered cricketers. It serves as both a tribute to his extraordinary achievements on the field and an inspiration for future generations who strive to leave their mark on this timeless sport.
