Cotton, Cricket and Football: Billy Cook, the Life of a Lancashire
League Legend is the colourful story of one of Lancashire’s
greatest sportsmen of the pre-war era, told from the perspective of
his daughter, a mill-worker in Burnley. Billy Cook played cricket
in the golden era of ‘Gentlemen and Players’ but he was no
gentleman. He played to win and he played for money – the money
generated by the cotton mills of Lancashire. Billy played with and
against some of the legends of the time, including Syd Barnes,
Archie MacLaren and Learie Constantine. In the winter he was a
hard-tackling full-back for Oldham Athletic, who achieved national
notoriety for his win-at-all-costs approach to the game. Billy’s
sporting career was interrupted by his service on the Western
Front, where he narrowly avoided death. He returned to the
Lancashire League to set records that still stand today. Cook was
the archetypal hard-nosed professional, who entertained the working
men of Lancashire for more than 30 years.

wealth of quotes, narratives, and reflective pieces seek to
motivate and inspire. Encouraging an attitude of selflessness with
positive and timely action, this thought-provoking guide posits

brief, clear chapters, this perceptive meditation is easy to
reference while attending the needs of others.
Leading a more fulfilling life is made possible with this

meditations provided on the included audio CD demonstrate how to
find the inner peace that ultimately leads to a proper state of
rest. Not just calming and healthy, adequate rest also provides the
necessary energy to respond appropriately when the moment of action
arrives.

following rather than fighting the rhythms of daily life. It

motion and to let natural flows take over. Simple habits and
exercises designed to locate love in each moment and to ease
anxiety are taught with humour and gentleness. Structured in an
accessible and direct manner, these inspirational quotes are
followed with specific steps for achieving calm and contentment.
