Fred Trueman was so much more than a cricketing legend. ‘The greatest living Yorkshireman’ according to Prime Minister Harold Wilson, he couldn’t help excelling at everything he did, whether it was as a hostile fast bowler for Yorkshire and England – and the first man to take 300 Test wickets in a career – or as a fearlessly outspoken radio commentator for Test Match Special. Yorkshire Post cricket correspondent Chris Waters draws on dozens of new interviews with Fred Trueman’s Yorkshire colleagues, family and friends, to produce this authorized biography that will surprise and maybe even shock, but also confirms the status of an English folk hero.
