About The Author
Tony Pigott
Tony Pigott played first-class cricket for Sussex and later for Surrey, his career plagued by back injuries. He took 672 first-class wickets at marginally under 31 each and scored one first-class hundred. After turning to coaching Surrey’s second XI, he returned as chief executive at Sussex following an acrimonious coup. He left the club in 1999 and later served as both an ECB pitch inspector and match referee.
Andrew Murtagh played cricket for Hampshire and has written several books on cricket and cricketers, including A Remarkable Man on George Chesterton, Touched by Greatness on Tom Graveney, Sundial in the Shade on Barry Richards, Test of Character on John Holder, Gentleman and Player on Colin Cowdrey, and his latest Cricket’s Black Dog, The Story Of Depression Among Cricketers.
