In 1968, Yorkshire County Cricket Club won a record 29th outright
County Championship title. Blessed with the talents of Brian Close,
Fred Trueman and Geoffrey Boycott, they dominated their opponents
through sheer desire, skill and belief. It was a golden era for the
club, and no one saw it coming to an end. But over the next few
years, everything changed. Yorkshire's star players departed and
their rivals benefited from the introduction of overseas
professionals like Garry Sobers, Viv Richards and Clive Rice. As
they decided only to hire those born within the county, Yorkshire
struggled to compete with their contemporaries and became one of
the worst-performing teams in the land. It was a dire time for the
club. But when a young Sachin Tendulkar arrived at Headingley in
April 1992, a revolution began. Through his talent and personality,
Yorkshire's first overseas player modernised a failing institution
and gained experience that helped him become the greatest
international batsman of his generation. This is the story of how a
promising 19-year-old became an Honorary Tyke... and, in the
process, changed the history of England's most successful club.
