 In this highly entertaining book Fred Rumsey looks back on an
eventful life, in which he opened the bowling for England in five
Tests, single-handedly advanced the idea of a Professional
Cricketers’ Association, pioneered the development of public
relations in cricket, played a leading role in the expansion of the
Lord’s Taverners and developed cricket and football tournaments
in the Caribbean. There is fun aplenty, as befits one who was a
friend of comedians Eric Morecambe and Dave Allen, but there is
also a sense of social purpose, to be found not only in the years
when he took on cricket’s establishment but in his long service
to the charity work of the Lord’s Taverners and his close bond
with the anti-apartheid South African journalist Donald Woods. From
the poignancy of his description of an East End childhood during
the Blitz to the wonderfully funny tale of his sharing a hotel room
with Geoffrey Boycott, 'Sense of Humour, Sense of Justice' is full
of delights – with insights into a rich array of characters,
among them David Gower, Bobby Moore, David Frost and his great mate
Colin Milburn.
