In preparing this biography, Alan Hill has called upon the reminiscences of Bob Wyatt, Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Len Hutton and Les Ames, among other illustrious contemporaries, to evoke the splendour of Sutcliffe's achievements for Yorkshire and England, and his legendary opening alliances with Jack Hobbs and Percy Holmes. This vivid and authentic portrait of one of the all-time cricketing greats is enhanced by many unpublished photographs and a full statistical record of Sutcliffe's career. The book has been read, but is in excelle ...
