Close season presents an opportunity for us to look into some of the things we simply don’t get the chance to do through summer. One such area is that of our history.
We have previously looked into the professionals that have represented us over the years and had built a comprehensive post-war record. However, courtesy of Mick Deasey, we have now been able to add to this a full list of all professionals dating back to our first in 1861.
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2571″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][vc_column_text]The above photo is of the Yorkshire side in 1875. It contains two players that had previously played at Great Harwood as professionals
On the back row on the right is John Thewlis, who spent two years at GHCC in 1864 and 1871.
On the extreme right of the middle row is Andrew Greenwood, who was professional in 1873.
Greenwood was in Lillywhite’s side that toured Australia in 1876/77 and he played in the first ever test matches between England and Australia.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Please find below our comprehensive list, including, where possible, profiles and batting and bowling figures for each season. We will look to add to these in the coming months.
