The Valiant Cricketer: The Biography of Trevor Bailey

Three times an Ashes winner, Trevor Bailey is regarded next to Ian Botham as England's premier all-rounder since the Second World War. He was a schoolboy prodigy at Dulwich College, won cricket and soccer blues at Cambridge University and an FA Amateur Cup winners' medal with Walthamstow in 1951-52. At the heart of the story is the fighting spirit of a loyalist who served England - and his home county, Essex - so well in a crisis. This book profiles one of the most iconic cricketers of his generation.
