Description
Fred Trueman was a complex figure, whose larger-than-life personality and impressive cricketing career have become an integral part of English sporting folklore. Behind the charismatic exterior, however, lay a more nuanced individual, whose life story is revealed in this first full biography. Drawing on dozens of new interviews with those who knew him best, Chris Waters sheds light on the lesser-known aspects of Trueman's life, including his childhood and family background. Contrary to popular perception, Trueman's upbringing was marked by poverty and hardship, rather than the idyllic rural setting often associated with him. This biography offers a fresh perspective on an English sporting hero, one whose legacy continues to captivate audiences today.
