Gunner: My Life in Cricket

By Ian Gould

Gunner: My Life in Cricket is the revealing and absorbing autobiography of lan Gould, the former England cricketer who became one of the best umpires in the world. During a 13-year career as an elite umpire, 'Gunner' was centre stage for some of the biggest controversies in world cricket, including the infamous 'sandpaper' Test in 2018, As a former England cricketer, he appreciated the pressures players were under and formed a rapport with some of the game's biggest names, although he always had the integrity of the game at heart. In this candid story of his life in cricket, he is refreshingly honest about the characters, controversies and the future of the game. He also opens up about his battle with depression, which forced him to take a break from cricket. There are colourful tales too from his days as a player and coach with England, Middlesex and Sussex, and how he nearly became a professional footballer instead of a cricketer. This included a stint at Arsenal which earned him the nickname 'Gunner'. Book jacket.
