Loosely defined as the twenty five years immediately preceding the outbreak of the First World War, the so called ‘Golden Age’ (1890—1914) saw some of the most legendary cricketers of all time: WG Grace, Victor Trumper, CB Fry, Monty Noble, Wilfred Rhodes, Warwick Armstrong, KS Ranjitsinhji, Hugh Trumble, Sydney Barnes, Archie MacLaren, Clem Hill, Gilbert Jessop and many, many more.Join me, Tom Ford, as each episode I invite a guest to discuss a player, series or event from the Golden Age, in an attempt to resurrect this often forgotten chapter of cricket history. This is the antithesis of most cricket podcasts which focus on the modern game, and is for anyone interested in learning a little more about one of the most fascinating periods in the history of cricket.Save or subscribe to the podcast now so you’ll never miss an episode.FOLLOW ON TWITTER: @GoldenAgeCrickt [https://twitter.com/GoldenAgeCrickt]FOLLOW ON YOUTUBE: youtube.com/@goldenageofcricket [https://www.youtube.com/@gol
