This picture hangs in my bar with such happy memories.
The day before my wife Jan, our son Danny & myself had been to Twickenham to watch England beat Ireland in the Rugby Union International.
We drove back the following day and Danny & I went up to Headingley for the famous Ashes encounter.
The atmosphere that morning was completely electric as the formidable Aussie bowlers attacked our batsmen.
Complete silence as the bowlers approached with huge applause from the Headingley faithful at every defensive stroke by the English.
What followed that day was simply the greatest English innings we had ever witnessed.
The Headingley crowd happily taking their shoes off to hold them aloft to the rousing rendition of ‘shoes off if you love Ben Stokes’!
Such a fabulous 135 not out it was🏏
What an amazing day at Leeds
