In 1970, Glenn Turner had his best season in first class cricket for Worcestershire. He chose to play more aggressively and scored 2379 runs which included 10 centuries and 9 fifties at an average of 61 runs. He was described by Tom Graveney that season as “He suddenly found the confidence to play his shots”. Wisden named him as one of their Players of the Year. His 2379 runs that year also made him the highest run scorer for the English season.
