IN Grass Root Memories (Local Heroes, Dec 21) mention was made of the former Norton, Durham, Warwickshire and England cricketer Dick Spooner. He was said to have made one appearance for England.
However, a glance at the record books showed he played in seven test matches for England.
It seems a pity that a respected North-East cricketer should have his record devalued in this manner.
