125 Not Out - New Chapters Now Online

11 Nov 2014 | Cricket
The next batch of archive film clips and interviews for "Glamorgan 125 Not Out" have been recently added to the Club's website.
You can now re-live many of the Club's great highlights from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, besides listening to extracts from a series of specially commissioned interviews with a host of former Glamorgan players and Club legends as a further series of chapters in Glamorgan 125 not out: A celebration of Glamorgan County Cricket Club are now online.

Rather than being a definitive Club history, Glamorgan 125 Not Out takes a thematic approach to the club's long and proud history. For example, The Successful Sixties includes interviews with a number of Glamorgan greats including Tony Lewis, Don Shepherd, Alan Jones, Peter Walker and Ossie Wheatley who all featured in the Welsh county's victories over the Australians as well as being members of the 1969 Championship-winning team.

Amongst other events, the film devoted to the 1970s recalls the Welsh county's first-ever appearance in a Lord's final with Mike Llewellyn, the man who nearly hit a ball completely over the famous pavilion at the St. John's Wood ground, being one of several former Glamorgan players recalling events from that decade.

The 1980's - Centenary Year and Beyond features interviews with Hugh Morris, Matthew Maynard, Robert Croft, Steve Watkin, Tony Cottey and Steve James as they recall the emergence of a talented group of home-grown players as well as the arrival of the legendary Viv Richards and how The Master Blaster helped to develop a winning mentality and provide the launch-pad for further success in the 1990s.

The films on the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s will also follow in the coming weeks, so now that the nights are drawing in, and the Christmas festivities loom on the horizon, why not wallow in a little bit of nostalgia and recall some of the great times in the recent history of Glamorgan County Cricket Club as well as finding out more about the more distant past back to the foundations of the Club in the 1880s with separate video chapters on each decade of the Club's history.
