In this new anecdotal book, the unstoppable Dickie Bird takes one
County Cricket Club at a time and revisits each with the aid of
memorabilia, statistics, books and videos. A mass of new hilarious
stories flow from Dickie as he flexes his memory: he describes the
cricketers, the matches and the character of these clubs. Dickie
also relives his journeys as a umpire to clubs and Test match
arenas overseas and recalls the humorous times that have filled his
unique career. A must have for cricket enthusiasts everywhere.
Hardly a week goes by without Dickie Bird visiting a county or Test
match arena where he can keep up to date with all that is happening
in the cricket world, while at the same time taking the opportunity
to reflect, in the company of old friends and acquaintances, on his
own colourful contribution to the sport that lasted for over half a
century. Dickie remains the most famous umpire of them all and is
still highly respected throughout the world. A lovable eccentric
with a joyful sense of fun, he decided, as he approached his
eightieth birthday, to recall the highlights of his life in
cricket, while also providing an illuminating insight into what he
has been up to since his retirement.
