Sobers: Twenty years at the top

Gary Sobers, the cricketer, tells the story of his playing career and gives frank and controversial assessments of past and present players in this autobiography. He also describes his drinking, night-clubbing and gambling and tells of the failure of his marriage. Gary Sobers now works for the West Indian Tourist Board. Brian Scovell works for "The Mail". He has known Sobers since 1963 and used to "ghost" his column worldwide. The book's date of publication coincides with the 1988 West Indian full tour of England.
