Biographies

Seventy-four minutes of laughter, anecdotes, and memories from cricket's best-loved umpire. Now collected for the first time in one audiobook, here are brilliant highlights from Dickie Bird's three best-selling recordings: My Autobiography, White Cap and Bails, and An Evening with Dickie Bird.

From his childhood in Barnsley to his hilarious experiences with Test cricketers, such as Ian Botham, Geoffrey Boycott, Merv Hughes, and Allan Lamb, and his own emotional farewell at Lord's, here are the best stories from cricket's favourite storyteller.
