School was a riot in Aberdeen
FB added: “Aberdeen Grammar has produced some cricketers of distinction. Present Scottish international Kyle Coetzer is an FP. But the greatest cricketer ever to come out of Aberdeen had the misfortune never to attend the school. Born in Aberdeen, Ian Peebles was educated in Glasgow before going on to play 13 Tests for England. Peebles also had the distinction of being identified by Bradman as the only bowler to have troubled him during his golden year of 1930 when he notched nearly 3,000 runs at 98.66. Just what might he have done if only he had gone to the right school?”
