Congratualtions to our very own Alford Gardner who answered Britain's call to serve in WW2 and again to help the nation rebuild after the war. He is proud of both his beloved Jamaica and Leeds, his home for 75 years - and we could not be prouder of him. SALUTE Mr Gardner! 🖤💛💚

We’ve had 4 nights of this. 4 nights of sheer frustration. 4 nights of sheer despair. 4 nights of sheer disgust for The Post Office & Fujitsu Alan Bates has had over 20 YEARS. He is incredible #MrBates #alanbates #PostOffceScandal #MrBatesvsPostOffice #MrBatesVsThePostOffice

Alford Gardner 98 years old today.

A pioneer and a trail-blazer. A founder of Leeds Caribbean CC, and someone who did so much for the Black cricketing community in this country. Rest in peace, Alford Gardner. Our thoughts are with his friends and family, and everyone at Leeds Caribbean CC.

First event without dad.
