Jack Iddon is arguably Lancashire's greatest ever all-rounder

Jack Iddon was one of Lancashire's greatest all-rounders, scoring over 21000 first-class runs for the Manchester-based county and picking up 551 wickets in his first-class career.

He scored 1000 or more runs in a first-class season on 13 occasions and was a vital member of Lancashire's success in the years leading up to the second World War, which unfortunately brought Iddon's cricket career to an end.

His finest season with the ball came in 1932 when he picked up 80 wickets and he came agonisingly close to picking up all ten wickets in an innings against Yorkshire in 1937, ending with figures of 9/42.

Iddon, who represented England in 5 Tests, was killed in a road accident in Crewe in 1946.
