Publisher Description

Seventy-five minutes of laughter, anecdotes, and memories from cricket's best-loved umpire. Now collected for the first time on one audiobook, here are brilliant highlights from Dickie Bird's three best-selling recordings: My Autobiography, White Cap and Bails, and An Evening with Dickie Bird.

From his childhood in Barnsley to his hilarious experiences with Test cricketers, such as Ian Botham, Geoffrey Boycott, Merv Hughes, and Allan Lamb, and his own emotional farewell at Lord's, here are the best stories from cricket's favourite storyteller.

"I started listening to this book, then something went awry with the CDs so I set it aside until I could download it to my MP3. Have to get back to it. It's HUGE and well-researched and really interesting. "

    " Great book offering a window not only into a brilliant mind but also into a pivotal time in history. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " As with many biographies a fascinating insight into a part of history. As a mainly American history it covers science, WWI, WWII, Communism, McCarthyism, the development of the bomb, amongst many others. I did find it a little long and repetitive in sections but I'm glad I stuck with it. "

    " This was a fascinating read - a true tragedy of Lear proportions. The man himself was complex and clearly a towering figure of the 20th century and his story is captured and told brilliantly. "

    " couldn't finish it. read well over 400pp and was bored silly. "comprehensive" doesn't necessarily mean entertaining. avoid it. "

    " Revealing in terms of character and history. Not exactly a page-turner, but an interesting biographyof a complex and impenetrable man. "
