Product Description
Review
Only Shakespeare could have invented a character so full of life's rich juices as Dickie Bird. Cricket's genius has been to accommodate his foibles and celebrate his humour. My delight has been in knowing him for all these years. -- Michael Parkinson

Product Description
With humour and affection national treasure Dickie Bird travels around Britain and details what he loves best about it. Some of those Dickie meets in his travels are celebrities who, like him, have reached the top of their professions - sports heroes like Sir Steve Redgrave or media stars like Rory Bremner - but so many more are ordinary, but very special folk: Macmillan nurses, or the proprietor of his favourite Pennine transport cafe. Each encounter will as likely as not remind him of some ripe anecdote from his thirty years behind the stumps. But everywhere he goes the nation's favourite umpire manages to bring out the best in the people he encounters, with his quirky curiosity and his unerring ability to winkle out the genuine individualists and the passionately committed who make up the many faceted face of Britain in the twenty-first century.
