Another Shooting Star

         By Brian Sanderson

         Another article in 1981 Wisden magazines was on Alan Ramage                         
  He was born in on the 29 November 1957 in Guisborough.

He made his debut for Yorkshire Seconds in 1974,having played
 for  Yorkshire Schoolboys in 1970 at the age of 12,
the youngest boy ever to do so.

. He first played for Maske in 1971 were he remained until 1978.

This is a photograph taken by Tony Woodhouse and I think
the ground is Maske .He played  23 matches for Yorkshire
up to 1983.He was a left hand bat who bowled fast medium.
He had the ability to become a leading all rounder.

However he was better known for nagging series of injuries.
which included strained rib muscles and a damaged
achilles tendon. he was also a good footballer who played
for Middlesbrough and Derby. he found the demands of
cricket to much for him and also the money in football
was to much to turn down. Injury finished his football
career .So his cricket and football carrer finished at the
age of 25. Another tragic waste of talent.
