From the Publisher:

Former England batsman Steve James autobiography Third Man To Fatty's Leg was simply the most acclaimed cricket book of 2004.

This is what Mike Atherton, writing in The Sunday Telegraph, had to say about it:"The writing is sharp, often funny, and the account of his 19 years at Glamorgan, and two Tests with England, is told in wonderful detail and with refreshing honesty. What shines from the pages is that rarest of things, self knowledge… it is perceptive and enjoyable." In a dazzling careeer cut short by injury, Steve James smashed Glamorgan records on his way to earning that coveted Test spot. His autobiography records the highs, but this thoughtful, intense book is also an unfailingly honest account of the days when self-doubt was his most formidable opponent.

Chosen as sports book of the week by The Independent and serialised in The Guardian, Third Man To Fatty's Leg was written without the aid of a ghostwriter and has been nominated for The Cricket Society's book of the year award.
