The 52 Zusammenfassung

The 52: Worcestershire's Forgotten First Class Cricketers Tim Jones

Meticulously researched, this book delves into the lives of 52 of Worcestershire's first-class cricketers and shines a light on their careers on and off the cricket pitch. It bridges many gaps in existing cricket records and provides a definitive guide which complements and, in some cases, supersedes what is already known about these players. It is brought to life with rare and - until now - unseen pictures of some of the players and is enhanced with testimonies from 16 of the 17 surviving players plus recollections from family members of those no longer alive.

Über Tim Jones

As a young boy, Tim's love of cricket was developed in the face of adversity. Confined to a wheelchair for long periods as a result of numerous operations to correct clubbed feet, his father - struggling to fill the time - taught him how to catch and throw. Once mobility improved, the natural progression was to batting and bowling, where the style of his hero, Glenn Turner, was copied for hours on end in the family's back garden. It was Turner's exploits in completing the coveted 1,000 runs before the end of May in 1973 which persuaded Tim's father to take him to New Road, Worcester, to see the great man play. The die was cast. Possessing a photographic memory for faces, details and records, Tim's first work, the biography of Worcestershire's inspirational Leader of Champions and Champion of Leaders, Don Kenyon was published in 2015. Now the club's honorary historian and archivist, he is a self-confessed cricket addict and can always be found at the ground on a match day, perched in his 'usual' seat in front at the New Road end of the ground where is always willing to provide an opinion and discuss the past, present and future with his group of friends and anyone who passes by.
