From Word of Sport:
Writing in a candid, wry and sardonic style, Simon Hughes reveals in an entertaining and honest way what it's really like to be a county cricketer. This is a paperback reissue of the acclaimed winner of the 1997 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award.
From the Publisher:
Between 1980 and 1993, Simon Hughes was a regular on the county circuit, playing alongside Brearley, Gatting, Edmonds and Botham. This is an anecdotal look at the ups and downs, the lifestyle, the practical jokes and shear hard yakka of county cricket.

Barry White was the arranger of 'Harlem Shuffle' by Bob & Earl...not strictly a sporting fact, but an interesting one nonetheless!
