Description
Geoffrey Boycott's 100,000-word diary of his Test match appearances forms the basis for this book, offering an unvarnished and often candid look at his cricket career.
Written with award-winning author Jon Hotten, Being Geoffrey Boycott presents a unique portrait of the internal and external forces that shaped Boycott's journey from a Yorkshire village to the pinnacle of international cricket. The book reveals new insights into his playing days, including dropped for scoring a slow double hundred, his time as captain at Yorkshire, and his experiences in the 1981 Ashes.
Now 81, Boycott reflects on his tumultuous time with England, sharing never-before-heard details about his peers and playing days. This enlightening book offers a fresh perspective on cricket history and the man who remains one of England's most recognizable cricketers.
