1968 was a year famous for Black Power salutes at the Mexico City Olympics and Apollo 8 becoming the first manned spacecraft to reach the moon.

It was eventful on the cricket field, too, with Garry Sobers smashing six sixes in an over for Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan in Swansea and the Basil D'Oliveria affair leading to the cancellation of England's tour to South Africa.
