Fred "The Demon" Spofforth
In Ashes year, it seems wholly appropriate that the first winner of Live Media UK's 'Tasche of the Day is an Ashes hero.
Fred Spofforth destroyed England at the Oval in 1882, taking 14-90. The following day, The Times produced a mock obituary of English Cricket, with "it's ashes" to be returned to Australia.
Since that day, England against Australia gained even more significance, as the sides competed for the ownership of said "ashes".
And all of this with some of the finest upper-lip hair in history.
Fred Spofforth; the man, the legend, the 'tasche.
