“THE BOOK LORD'S TRIED TO BAN”
English cricket's most colourful and eccentric character, Jack Russell, proves he is not afraid to stand up to the authorities in defence of his forthright opinions on the game.
In his richly entertaining autobiography, the Gloucestershire and England wicket-keeper lifts the veil on the upheavals and dressing-room rows that have punctuated his country's recent performances, from the failure of the Illingworth regime to the complex behind-the-scenes interplay during the Lloyd-Atherton years. He talks openly about the blackest moments of his life – his brother’s death and his depression at the end of the 1994 West Indies tour – while recalling his triumphant record-breaking achievements and his passion for painting and military history.
Fully updated with Russell's behind-the-stumps account of the 1997/98 winter tour to the West Indies, this book is a tribute to one of the most popular and respected figures in the modern game.
"Russell is a persuasive critic of the England set-up."
