Jim Kilburn
James Maurice "Jim" Kilburn (8 July 1909 – 28 August 1993) was a British sports journalist who wrote for the ''Yorkshire Post'' between 1934 and 1976. Well-regarded for the style of his writing and his refusal to write about off-field events, Kilburn wrote primarily about Yorkshire County Cricket Club. After a brief career in teaching, and having spent time in Finland, Kilburn was appointed cricket correspondent at the ''Yorkshire Post'' after impressing the editor with his writing. A serious man, he had an unusual way of writing his reports, but his editors refused to change his copy, so highly did they value his impact.
==Early life and career==
Kilburn was born in Sheffield in 1909,〔 and attended Holgate Grammar School in Barnsley, before completing a degree in economics at the university there.〔 From an early age, he showed interest in cricket; as a boy he received coaching from former Yorkshire cricketer George Hirst at Scarborough,〔 and played for Barnsley in Yorkshire Council matches and for Bradford in the Bradford League.〔〔 Bowling fast-paced off spin, Kilburn was successful enough with bat and ball to win medals for Bradford and have his achievements reported in the press.〔 He worked briefly as a teacher in a Harrogate preparatory school.〔Hamilton, p. 12.〕 While in Bradford, he met the vice-consul for Finland;〔 as a result, he went to live in Finland for a year.〔Hamilton, p. 13.〕
