Description
Tony Greig's life story is one of controversy and redemption. In March 1977, he was at the height of his career as England cricket captain, having led his team to a series victory in India and a dramatic draw against Australia in Melbourne. However, this success was short-lived, as his reputation was soon tarnished by accusations of being a traitor and mercenary. The fallout from the 'Packer Revolution' led to him losing his England captaincy, Sussex captaincy, and facing an eight-week ban from first-class cricket. Despite this, Greig's story is not just about controversy, but also about resilience and determination. At 6ft 7in, he was a giant of the game both on and off the pitch. His life has been marked by both triumph and turmoil, making for a fascinating read. This book tells the story of Tony Greig's remarkable journey, from his early days as a cricketer to his later years in commentary. It is a story that will appeal to cricket fans and those interested in biographies of sportsmen who have made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
