Description

This light-hearted book is not wholly about the perils of trying to park but it has a strong theme about cricket and football, and it is also a memoir as a veteran sports writer for the Daily Mail.

I write about 350 or more personalities I've interviewed or known about.

My hero was Denis Compton. I used to listen to a portable radio in hospital aged 11 about his dynamic batting after WW2.

Another hero was the great all-round cricketer, Lord Learie Constantine, whom I wrote his articles in the Daily Sketch.

He was the first Afro-Caribbean to be a Lord and as a barrister he broke the colour bar in the High Court when he won damages of five guineas, also gave advice for the Race Relations Acts.

No-one has done more for diversity than this remarkable, lovable man - and today's generation haven't heard of him, sadly.

We are campaigning for a statue of him in the Parliament Estate to add to the three black statues there compared to nearly 300 white statues in the borough of Westminster.
