10 best players of all time from Lancashire

7. Johnny Tyldesley

Johnny Tyldesley is the second highest run-scorer in Lancashire history

Johnny Tyldesley made his first-class debut in 1895 and was a regular in the side until the First Wolrd War effectively brought his career to an end.

However, he still remains one of Lancashire's most prolific run-scorers in history, sitting only behind his younger brother Ernest in the highest run-scorers chart for the county.

He was a consistent scorer for Lancashire and England in the middle order and scored 1000+ runs in a first-class season for 20 successive times, including the 1897 season when Lancashire won their first official County Championship.

Known for his quick reflexes and flexible strokeplay, Johnny Tyldesley was an excellent fielder as well who played 31 Tests for England and more than 600 first-class games for Lancashire.
