The accepted view of the acquisition of land that became Headingley Stadium, the preeminent sporting venue in England at the time, is that it was bought at an auction of the Cardigan Estates in 1888. Former history teacher and legal expert John Beckett examines the evidence and context of events to come up with an alternative explanation.
