Formed in 1875, Somerset County Cricket Club had a long history of
winning nothing when Brian Rose took on the captaincy in 1978. Yet
in his six years at the helm they won five trophies and came close
to winning several more. With only two further successes since
then, those gloriously entertaining summers of Rose’s men –
Botham, Richards, Garner, Roebuck, Marks and Denning – remain
unrivalled as the Golden Age of Somerset Cricket. Here in 'Rosey'
Brian Rose tells the inside story of those years: from his
apprenticeship under the extraordinary Brian Close to the sad and
acrimonious break-up of the side. Reading his account of it all, it
is not hard to understand how his quiet captaincy held together so
many strong personalities. Both then and as Director of Cricket in
the 2000s, he has been at the heart of so much of what is best
about Somerset cricket.
