Description

Garry Sobers is a cricketing legend, one of the greatest all-rounders of all time. In this revealing and honest autobiography, Sobers talks about his upbringing and about the tragic accident that inspired him throughout his career. He explains how he helped the West Indies to become the most feared cricketing nation in the world, setting them on a course of success that would run for another 20 years. He also provides authoritative views on the current state of the game and the future of cricket.

Reviews

The book is as entertaining as this great player was in his heyday - David Llewellyn, Independent

Cricket fans will be reminded not only how irresistible he was as a cricketer, but also how his uninhibited and generous-spirited personality made him so easy to like and so difficult to forget - Edward Smith, Sunday Telegraph
