Happy 64th birthday to Gladstone Small.
‘Gladys’ burst onto the scene in 1980, helping Warwickshire win the JPL title for the only time, just one season after they had propped up the table.
The 18 year-old finished the Sunday season with 25 wickets, representing a strong debut season

A Lancashire legend, I am very grateful to David Lloyd for writing the foreword to my upcoming book Stars on Sunday, the history of the John Player League.
He was the 1st Lancs player to pass 4,000 runs in the JPL (4,653@32.31) and no one skippered them more times.

Rarely have 2 bowlers figures tracked so closely as John Lever and Derek Underwood through their John Player League careers.
They were the key wicket-taking bowlers for Essex and Kent respectively through the 1970s, and finished the 1981 season locked together on 261 wickets each.
