Don Bradman speaking at farewell luncheon as he steps down from international cricket; 1948

Farewell luncheon held at Savoy Hotel to honour cricketer Don Bradman; luncheon organised by Sunday Newspaper 'The People'. Savoy Hotel, interior shot of banqueting room, seated guests. Speech by Donald Bradman "I think this is probably the most difficult speech which I've ever been called upon to make. I am very sensitive that cricket is not an individual game, but is a team game, and that one person alone cannot create performances by himself. As you know, our players have been very successful due, I think in the main to the magnificent team spirit which has existed amongst the boys right from the very first day that they set sail from Australia. Now many of our players, of course, will come again. In the capacity of players I unfortunately will not have that pleasure, because I don't intend to play anymore." London; 1948 (BBC News - 268-48-01 - 24/09/1948 - AEXZ288W).
