Another signed photograph recently purchased is of Doug Padgett going out on Saturday 27 June 1957 at Tunbridge Wells when Yorkshire were about to beat Kent in two days.
Yorkshire who won the toss ,began badly on a lively pitch and seven wickets should have been down for 120 Padgett batting at four was out caught by Evans for 17. Instead Wardle, missed when two hit hard for an hour to score 46. Another dropped catch proved costly as Cowan who escaped when
he had scored ten ,helped Appleyard to add 77 for the last wicket to bring the score to 292.Bob Appleyard made his highest score of his career of 63 before being run out.

Kent collapsed badly in their first innings to be bowled out for 97.Cowan took 5 for 32 and Appleyard 3 for 23. In Kent's second innings Phebey stayed nearly two and a half hours for 61. Also Evans who hit eleven fours took only fifty one minutes over 61. Wardle and Illingworth bowled Kent out for 198 on the second day.
In 1957 Yorkshire finished third but Billy Sutcliffe announced he would not captained Yorkshire in 1958. Also Willie Watson moved on to Leicestershire whilst Frank Lowson developed leg problems and did not play from mid June.
