Once he returned from the war, he was unable to join the Yorkshire team so played for Surrey and represented England. At Old Trafford in 1956 during the Ashes Test match with Australia he famously took 19 wickets out of 20 (Tony Lock who played for Surry took the other) enabling England to win the Ashes. It is known as the Laker Test match, and is still a record for most wickets taken by one bowler in a first cass cricket match.

• Roberts Park, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

  Originally named Saltaire Park, the 14 acre space opened in 1871 and was free for anyone to enjoy. However, there were strict rules enforced in the park. Among other things, political and religious demonstrations were banned, as were wheeled vehicles and unaccompanied children under 8. By the early twentieth century Salts Mill and Saltaire were owned by Sir James Roberts, Roberts retired in 1918 and in 1920 gifted the park to Bradford Corporation for public use. At the same time, the part was renamed Roberts Park in memory of James's deceased son, Bertram Foster Roberts.. The park was originally reached by a bridge from the end of Victoria Road, over the valley to what is now the West entrance, at the lodge. This bridge had to be demolished after World War II, due to damage caused by tanks crossing to use the area for manoeuvres.
