With his trademark forthrightness and Yorkshire wit, Trueman provides a deeply personal tour through the most pivotal and dramatic games of his life, from village greens to the most fiercely contested Ashes series. Far from a dry statistical recounting, the narrative, expertly marshalled by Don Mosey, is filled with rich anecdotes, tactical insights, and Trueman’s candid appraisals of both his teammates and his fiercest opponents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54320836837715,"sku":"4552","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260708_112817.jpg?v=1784180911","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/trueman","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
