Opis

Dr W.G. Grace was probably the most famous cricketer who has ever lived. Grace towered physically over most other players of his era, and over all of them through his performances on the field. Yet he was much more than a cricketer. W.G., as he was universally known, set the template for all other sporting celebrities who succeeded him. When David Beckham produces a book of ghost-written memoirs he is following, ever so distantly, Grace's huge, trudging footsteps. When Usain Bolt endorses a brand of athletic shoes, he is running behind W.G. And if Grace's contemporaries had witnessed John McEnroe's tantrums they would have smiled in recognition; W.G. was sport's original superstar bad boy. Richard Tomlinson's magisterial new biography reveals the real W.G. behind the record-breaking cricketer who was also the most recognisable public figure in Victorian Britain. It is published in October 2015 to coincide with the centenary of WG's death, around which substantial publicity is already guaranteed.
