'A lovely kind of nostalgia, which colourises the black and white
of yesteryear' - The Oldie Review 'He writes about them all with
wonderful precision and a powerful evocation' - Radio Times 'Like
my father before me, I believe that both the playing and watching
of sport can teach us important lessons about ourselves by
providing practical instruction in co-operation, tests of resolve
and temper' For Michael Parkinson it was never really in doubt that
he would spend his life in sport. His father, a fearsome fast
bowler himself, indoctrinated young Michael from an early age into
the Yorkshire cricket tradition and supporting Barnsley FC. All he
ever wanted was to play cricket for Yorkshire and England. He rose
through the ranks of Barnsley cricket along with his friends Dickie
Bird and Geoffrey Boycott. But while they went on to find fame on
the field, he spent the next few decades watching, writing and
talking about sport. My Sporting Life is Sir Michael's love letter
to sport, to the heroes and legends of his Yorkshire youth, to the
characters of the international games he watched and wrote about,
and to the very idea of sport itself. With warm humorous anecdotes
about many icons of sport, from Shane Warne to George Best and
Muhammad Ali to Fred Trueman, Sir Michael Parkinson reflects on his
life writing about his one great passion.
