About this Quote

Frank Woolley's quote speaks with the significance of team effort and the worth of custom. He is describing the Kent County Cricket Club, which he played for from 1906 to 1938. The Kent tradition he mentions is the concept that the group need to constantly precede, which private players must put the team's success ahead of their own. This is an approach that has been passed down through generations of Kent players, and it is one that Woolley himself embodied throughout his profession. He was understood for his generous attitude and willingness to put the group first, and his quote functions as a tip of the significance of this tradition. Woolley's quote is a pointer that, no matter how talented a private gamer may be, the team's success ought to always precede.
