Consummate Cricketer - W.G. Grace
Price £38 (including UK Tracked post) for us to specially create a copy of this tile. The mould is retrieved from storage and set up for the press. Once created we will treat it in the same way as a personalised tile. It is mounted on our regular presentation cards. If you are interested please get in touch via the Contact Us page.
The design is based on images of the very recognisable figure of W.G. Grace (1848-1915). He is regarded as the best player of all time and has helped to shape the modern game with his technical skills of batting, bowling and fielding. ‘Play Up! Play Up! & Play the Game!’ is the refrain of Henry Newbolt’s famous poem written in 1897. Inspired by cricket matches in the Close at Clifton College, the poet evoked the spirit of bravery and stoicism needed by a whole generation of young men going off to war. The perfect cricket gift for the cricketing enthusiast.
