Bound in blue cloth with gilt titles to spine. Unclipped dust-wrapper. 298 pp. including Boycott's career statistics and averages; + black-and-white photographs. A Very Good+ copy in Djkt (slt shelf wear). The outer page-edges are showing a little browning. Captain of Yorkshire and England, yet discarded by both when still at his peak, Boycott has been at the top for over twenty years. Boycott talks frankly about his often fiery relationships with such great cricketers as Illingwoth, Trueman and Close, and about his love-hate relationship with Yorkshire cricket. He discusses his key partnerships with team-mates such as Denness, Brearly and Botham. And he speaks here for the first time about why he chose to opt out of Test cricket for three years in the mid-1970s. A sincere expose' of the real person, warts and all, rarely seen in an autobiography.
