This is the fascinating autobiography of none other than Ted Dexter
— aka Lord Ted — the ferociously powerful and debonair former
England international cricketer and captain. Dexter was a
classical, hard-hitting batsman and right-arm swing bowler of the
highest order. Having captained England in 1961-2, stood as
England’s chairman of selectors from 1989-1993 and then becoming
President of the MCC in 2001, he is undeniably one of England’s
most prolific cricketers, playing alongside and standing in the
same legacy as the iconic Fred Trueman, Peter May, Colin Cowdrey,
Richie Benaud and Gary Sobers. But, as Ted is eager to
stress in the introduction of his book, he also lived a rich,
lively and fulfilling life outside of his sporting career.
Featuring tales galore — of his various escapades along the
French Riviera, his experience of running a sports PR company,
flying planes (just “because he could”), playing championship
golf, racing greyhounds, journalism, broadcasting and honestly *so
much more* — you’ll wonder if there’s anything in life this
man couldn’t do! Fresh, vivacious and ridiculously
entertaining, this book is destined to unravel as a rip-roaring
read not only for those who recall his sporting legacy, but for
anyone who resonates with Ted’s fervent enthusiasm for both
cricket and life. All book royalties will be donated to the MCC
Foundation -- Transforming Lives Through Cricket.
