10 best players of all time from Lancashire

10. Neil Fairbrother

Fairbrother represented England in three ODI World Cups

Named by his mother after her favourite player - Australia's Neil Harvey - Neil Fairbrother served Lancashire with distinction for over two decades since making his first-class debut in 1982.

With over 20000 first-class runs including 47 centuries, it is a surprise that Fairbrother failed to make the cut at the Test level with an average of below 16

However, he made up for it as an ODI specialist, featuring in three World Cups for England, including the 1992 edition when he finished as the top scorer for his side in the final against Pakistan.

Fairbrother was known for his ability to play with the lower order and his quick running between the wickets which enabled him to score runs briskly without taking undue risks.

Fairbrother reserved his best for Lancashire and registered his highest score of 366 against Surrey in 1990, of which 311 runs came on a single day. He remained one of their mainstays in the middle order for much of his career before retiring from the game in 2002.
