Issued to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the inaugural one day limited overs Gillette Cup cricket match, the booklet features an account of the encounter between Lancashire and Leicestershire at Old Trafford on 1, 2 May 1963. Rain meant that play was spread over two days, with the home side emerging victorious thanks to a fine performance by all-rounder Peter Marner, who scored a century and took three wickets. He was duly awarded the new competition's first "Man of the Match" award by the Kent and England cricketer Frank Woolley.
