Cricket's Greatest Characters

The world of sport is rich in colurful characters. These books are not about sporting achievement but the personalities who have embelished their sport. Some giants of the game are featured but many are less well known, such as cricketer, Arthur Wellard, who would remove his false teeth to unsettle the batsman; or the goalkeeper, William 'Fatty' Foulke, the heaviest player in the history of professional football. Looking back over the last 100 years or so, these compendia of trivia, facts and anecdotes celebrate heroes, oddballs and showmen alike, both on the pitch and on the touchline. A must for the sporting connoisseur.
