Book Description
Malcolm Marshall's death at 41 from colon cancer last November devastated his home island of Barbados and sent shock waves around the world of cricket.
As the most deadly of all West Indian fast bowlers, Marshall took more Test wickets in the 1980s than any other. At the time of his death he was the West Indies coach and coach also to the Hampshire county side. His funeral brought the Caribbean to a standstill. A huge galaxy of cricket stars, past and present, attended a massive funeral when a whole sport grieved for the loss of a champion.
Marshall's rise to fame is chronicled in his own words and his life story vividly told by those who knew and loved him. Hampshire's captain Mark Nicholas described him as a special cricketer and a special man.
'Maco' is the story of Malcolm Marshall from his birth in Bridgetown to his premature death in hospital with his wife Connie and closest friends at his bedside.
A great player is gone but his life lives in this book with comments from those he played with and against in a spectacular career of some 18 years at the top.
