The War of the White Roses: Yorkshire Cricket’s Civil War, 1968-1986
In 1968 Yorkshire County Cricket Club was the dominant force in English cricket, yet by 1986 it had slid to become one of the game’s also-rans. The War of the White Roses tells how two decades of fierce infighting caused so much damage it took almost 30 years to recapture those past glories. The period from 1968 to 1986 was scarred by bitterness, pettiness and jealousy as civil war broke out with one of the county’s greatest-ever players, the brilliant but divisive Geoffrey Boycott, at the centre of the story.
