Chapple shares the record for scoring the fastest ever first-class century

Glen Chapple is one of only 5 players in Lancashire history to score 7000 runs and pick up 700 wickets and was named the county's head coach in 2015 after serving the side for more than two decades as a player.

Though primarily a bowler, Chapple, along with Mark Pettini, shares the record for the fastest ever first-class century, scored off 27 balls against Glamorgan in 1993.

Chapple, who was appointed skipper of the Lancashire side in 2009, led them to the County Championship title in 2011 and was named one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Year in 2012.

He has been an outstanding servant for Lancashire and was named as their Player of the Year in 2002. Despite his prolific domestic record, Chapple's international career was restricted to only one ODI for England.
