A national hero in his playing days, Herbert Sutcliffe belongs to a select band of all-time cricketing greats. Blessed with the looks of a matinee idol, Sutcliffe was a complex, often enigmatic, personality, as Alan Hill reveals. This biography of the Yorkshire and England batsman charts his extraordinary transformation from cobbler's apprentice to urbane gentleman, and one of the coolest, most determined and technically accomplished practitioners the game has ever known.
His career spanned exactly the years between the wars and he performed with distinction in every one of those seasons. As a cricketer, he was touched with genius. He scored 50,138 first-class runs, including 149 centuries, and his remarkable Test average of 60.73 is the highest for an English batsman - higher than those of Hobbs, Hammond or Hutton.
