Roy Kilner was the second son, and one of eleven children, born to Seth Kilner and his wife Mary Alice (née Washington). Irvi ng Washington, one of Yorkshire`s earliest and greatest left - hand batsmen, was Roy`s uncle. With such a cricketing background, there was plenty of encouragement for the young Roy and he showed enough promise to join the local Mitchell Main club in 1905. After five years with the club, his performances were beginning to attract the attention of Yorkshire. He made his debut with the second eleven in 1910 and, in 1911, left Mitchell Main to join Harrogate CC for a higher standard of cricket and a better bat ting surface. From 1912, he was a regular in the f irst eleven.

During the First World War, he enlisted with the Leeds Pals battalion, alongside his friend . At the outbreak of h ostilities, he had married Annie Campbelljohn, a ceremony at which Major Booth was best man. Roy saw service in France and Egypt. He received a shrapnel wound in the same action in which Major Booth was killed, the battle of the Somme. His wound forced him home and he recuperated in a military hospital near Blackpool. In September 1918, he made his debut for Preston Nort h End FC as a right - back.

After the war, Yorkshire`s bowling attack had lost Booth and , whose health had failed him. `s form h ad declined also so encouraged Kilner to develop his bowling. And the first season after the war, 1919, saw Kilner take 45 wickets and score 1135 runs. Rhodes gave even more encouragement to Kilner as Rhodes was now in his forties and needed help with his bowling.

By 1922, Kilner was established as a genuine all - rounder and he was selected fo r England in 1924, making his debut at Edgbaston against South Africa. He also played at Old Trafford in that series. In 1924/25, he toured Australia under . He played in three tests in that Ashes series and then four more in England in 1926 , when Australia toured here. And that was the end of his international recognition. In the winter of 1978/28, he was invited to India by the Maharajah of Patiala to coach. He thought long and hard before accep ting bur did eventually accept the invitation. And sadly, it was during that stint in the Sub Continent that he contracted Typhoid fever. He was well enough to return home but his health deteriorated and he died on 5 April 1928 in Kendray Fever Hospital, near Barnsley. He was just 37 years old.

One of the most popular players of his generation, some 100,000 mourners lined the route as his cortège followed his final journey. He is buried in Wombwell cemetery.

119 ) J A MEAL – Born 1888, Golcar, Huddersfield
