Paperback. Condition: Good. This is the fascinating autobiography of none other than Ted Dexter aka Lord Ted the ferociously powerful and debonair former England international cricketer and captain. Dexter was a classical, hard-hitting batsman and right-arm swing bowler of the highest order. Having captained England in 1961-2, stood as Englands chairman of selectors from 1989-1993 and then becoming President of the MCC in 2001, he is undeniably one of Englands most prolific cricketers, playing alongside and standing in the same legacy as the iconic Fred Trueman, Peter May, Colin Cowdrey, Richie Benaud and Gary Sobers. But, as Ted is eager to stress in the introduction of his book, he also lived a rich, lively and fulfilling life outside of his sporting career. Featuring tales galore of his various escapades along the French Riviera, his experience of running a sports PR company, flying planes (just because he could), playing championship golf, racing greyhounds, journalism, broadcasting and honestly *so much more* youll wonder if theres anything in life this man couldnt do! Fresh, vivacious and ridiculously entertaining, this book is destined to unravel as a rip-roaring read not only for those who recall his sporting legacy, but for anyone who resonates with Teds fervent enthusiasm for both cricket and life.
