"Fiery" Fred Fred Trueman O.B.E. was one of the fastest bowlers ever to play for both Yorkshire and England. He was the first man in history to take 300 test wickets, taking a total of 307 in 67 tests in which he played. Frederick Sewards Trueman was born on 6th February 1931 in the village of Stainton, very close to Yorkshire's southern boundary with Nottinghamshire. The legendary Fred Trueman first burst on the test scene in 1952, playing his first test against India. Photograph: Ian Walton/ALLSPORT |
