Description

Often humorous, sometimes sad, this is the story of Geoff Cope, a man who played cricket for Yorkshire and England, who helped to save his county club from bankruptcy and who, in recent years, has raised more than GBP200,000 for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. it is a story full of ups and downs: early success, followed by time out of the game remodelling his bowling action; a Test match hat-trick when his joy lasted barely a minute; the drama of the days that led to his joining the four-man board that rescued Yorkshire; and the diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa, a gradual loss of eyesight that now leaves him reliant on a guide dog.

The most popular of men, he remains cheerful, and in this book he talks with a warm humanity and plenty of humour about his life and about the many characters he has known.

With his great gift for bringing alive the past, it is a lively and an inspiring tale.
