Description
This episode we talk about Barney Gibson who was the youngest man to play first class cricket in England. He played for Yorkshire at 15, and then at 19 he retired to run nightclubs. But we also discuss Mark Broadhurst, another young gun Yorkshire player who had an early end to his career and who spoke up after reading about Gibson. So I got on the person that kind of united them. Nick Friend has written the stories about these men. We discuss Yorkshire, teen prodigies, parenting, life after cricket, the yips, retirement and the nightclub chain Tiger Tiger.
