Free as a Bird: The Life and Times of Harold 'Dickie' Bird

By David Hopps and Geoffrey Boycott

Dickie Bird, who retired in June 1996, had an umpiring career spanning 66 Tests, three World Cup finals and nearly 100 one-day internationals. As the finest umpire in cricket history and one of the game's most endearing characters, he was also one of a rare breed--a natural eccentric who delighted onlookers while never losing the respect of his fellow professionals.
