Fast bowler, six-hitter, popular hero, one of the lads, king of the
jungle - Andrew Flintoff is all of those things. Second Innings, is
his searingly honest yet uplifting autobiography, Flintoff reveals
unseen, surprising sides to his career and personality. The
restless need to push and challenge himself that led him to take up
professional boxing. The complex and troubled relationship with
discipline, alcohol and authority during his exhilarating cricket
career. The search for an authentic voice as a player, free from
the blandness and conformity of modern professionalism. Is Flintoff
the last of his kind, in any sport? Through all his highs and lows,
triumphs and reversals, this book reveals a central tension. There
is 'Fred' - performer, extrovert, centre of attention. Then there
is 'Andrew' - reflective, withdrawn and uncertain. Two people
contained in one extraordinary life. And sometimes, inevitably,
keeping the two in balance proves too much. We are taken backstage,
seeing the mischief and adventure that has defined Andrew
Flintoff's story. Above all, we observe the enduring power of fun,
friendship and loyalty - the pillars of Flintoff's career. At ease
with his faults as well as his gifts, Andrew Flintoff has sought
one thing, even more than success: to be himself. If you enjoyed Do
You Know What?, you'll enjoy this memoir of Freddie's sporting
career.
