The Player From 'Ponty' is the biography of Glamorgan cricketer
Bernard Hedges, the talented sportsman from the valleys of south
Wales who played rugby for Pontypridd and Swansea, represented a
Great Britain side at football and became a widely respected
cricketer with Glamorgan between 1950 and 1967, who: Scored 17, 773
first-class runs - Glamorgan's 7th all-time top run scorer. Hit
Glamorgan's first one-day century, v Somerset in the Gillette Cup
in 1963. Was one of only six Glamorgan players to score 2,000 runs
in a season (2,026 in 1961). Bernard's journey from his early days
in Rhydyfelin - the eldest of eight children raised in a small
council house - to the local grammar school, his National Service
days, and to his professional career with Glamorgan is lovingly
revealed by his son Stephen, who tells the story of the sporting
life of a man who epitomised the 'unsung hero' by showing great
grit and determination to make the most of the sporting talent he
had.
