FRED: PORTRAIT OF A FAST BOWLER

SIGNED

Classic cricket biography of Frederick Sewards Trueman (1931-06), known as Fiery Fred due to his rapid bowling and abrasive character.

Of the reams written about Trueman down the years, no-one has drawn such a vivid or honest portrait of the man as John Arlott.
