Few modern British sportsmen have fascinated the public more than
Geoff Boycott. In this first comprehensive and balanced account of
Boycott's life - fully updated to include his battle against cancer
- award-winning author Leo McKinstry lifts the lid on one of
cricket's great enigmatic characters. A record-breaking Test
cricketer and acerbic commentator, Geoff Boycott has never been far
away from controversy during his long career in the game. Based on
meticulous research and interviews with a host of players, Test
captains, officials, broadcasters, friends and enemies, this
definitive biography cuts through the Boycott myth to expose the
truth about this charismatic, single-minded and often exasperating
personality. What was Boycott like as a schoolboy? How did his
England cricket colleagues such as Graham Gooch, Dennis Amiss and
Brian Close feel about him as a person? Why was he so unpopular in
his early career for Yorkshire? And what is the real truth about
the relationships that soured his private world? From his
upbringing as a miner's son in a Yorkshire village, through
highlights like his hundredth century at Headingley against
Australia, to the low points such as the damaging court case in
France, this warts-and-all account of his life makes for
captivating reading.
