10 best players of all time from Lancashire

6. Cyril Washbrook

Washbrook scored more than 34000 runs in his first-class career

One of Lancashire's most distinguished players in history, Cyril Washbrook was yet another prolific run-scorer who played close to three decades for the Old Trafford-based county.

Known for his staunch appearance and adherence to discipline, Washbrook formed a formidable opening partnership with Len Hutton for England and played 37 Tests for the national side, scoring more than 2500 runs.

His record for Lancashire was far more impressive as he scored more than 34000 first-class runs and served Lancashire as a fine player and was appointed as their first ever professional captain in 1954 - a post he held on to until his retirement in 1959.

He remained closely associated with the county even after quitting the game as a player and became Lancashire's manager in 1964 and also served as the county's President from 1989 to 1990.
