HIGHLIGHTS OF A CAREER IN CRICKET FROM BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED UMPIRE, THE LATE DICKIE BIRD.

'You know what you will get with Mr Bird, and he delivers it with unabashed aplomb in this amiable book' - Country Life

Hardly a week went by without Dickie Bird visiting a county or Test match arena where he could keep up to date with all that was happening in the cricket world, while at the same time taking the opportunity to reflect, in the company of old friends and acquaintances, on his own colourful contribution to the sport that lasted for over half a century.

Until his death, Dickie remained the most famous umpire of them all. A lovable eccentric with a joyful sense of fun, he decided, as he approached his eightieth birthday, to recall the highlights of his life in cricket.

Filled with warmth and an undying love for the sport that brought him so much joy, 80 Not Out is the perfect tribute to Dickie Bird's extraordinary life in cricket.©2013 Dickie Bird (P)2013 Hodder & Stoughton
