Twelve years ago, Geoffrey Boycott received the diagnosis that tore
his world apart: he had cancer of the tongue. Having faced down the
fastest bowlers during his career as one of England's greatest-ever
batsmen, he now had to take on an even more daunting foe. In this
fascinating new book, his first autobiographical work for more than
15 years, Boycott not only relives his terrifying battle with
cancer but also opens up about the personal side of his life as
never before, writing movingly about his long-time love Rachael,
and their daughter Emma. He talks about his many other interests
and friendships beyond cricket, with a moving chapter on Brian
Clough as well as revealing some surprising enthusiasms: Boycott
and Katy Perry? But Boycott has devoted his life to cricket, and
his insights on the game, its players and those who write and talk
about it are never less than frank, revealing, entertaining and
very honest. Following the death of Tony Greig, Boycott returns to
the subject of the Packer 'revolution' to ask how much it really
changed things, and he assesses the modern generation of players:
how does he rate England's prolific captain Alastair Cook? And is
Kevin Pietersen a batting genius or a player who has frittered away
his talent? His opinions come with the authority of someone with
profound knowledge of and love for the sport. In commentary, he
refers to the 'corridor of uncertainty' for a batsman - but with
Geoffrey Boycott there is never any room for that, which is why
this book is such a compelling and entertaining read.
