The Life and Death of Andy Ducat is the fascinating and captivating
biography of one of England's earliest sporting heroes. The story
starts in the reign of Queen Victoria and ends, tragically, on the
hallowed turf of Lord's Cricket Ground during the Second World War.
History has not been kind to Andy Ducat, and his untimely death in
1942, while playing at Lord's, is the only fact known by many about
this sporting idol. Andy is one of a select band of men to
represent England at football and cricket. In football, he
captained Aston Villa to FA Cup glory in 1920 and made Arsenal's
'Greatest 50 players'. In cricket, Andy scored more than 23,000
first-class runs and played for Surrey in a team of greats such as
Hobbs, Sandham and Fender. Andy was a gifted sportsman with a core
philosophy of fair play, which made him universally liked. However,
his contribution to English sport in the early years of the 20th
century has been forgotten. It is time for a new generation of
sports fans to discover Andy's story.
