Fred Trueman OWZAT!

An audio book out now

The legendary Fred Trueman O.B.E. was one of the fastest bowlers ever to play for both Yorkshire and England. He was the first man in history to take 300 test wickets, taking a total of 307 in 67 tests in which he played.

Fred has since become a commentator of cricket for BBC Radio and one of Britain's most sought after sports entertainers travelling the world performing his show of jokes and anecdotes.

He is a master of the instant epigram, the stinging one-liner and a superb story-teller.

This tape will raise a laugh from anyone who enjoys the company of a leading sports racontauer.

Essential listening for all cricket lovers. "Really takes one back to the days when cricket was cricket ... lots of wonderful tales of the past greats of the stumps. I really enjoyed Freddy and would urge all cricket fans and those who just like a good laugh to get this tape."
Rob Marshall - Bradenton, Florida, USA

Fred Trueman: OWZAT! has Fred at his very best and bluntest. The stories include Fred's early life and how he started to play; his first matches, playing for Yorkshire and then for England. He tells us of some of the characters from the great games of cricket - Hopper Levitt, Alec Skelding, Frank "Typhoon" Tyson, Emmet Robinson, Ian Botham as well as his hilarious experience playing cricket against India, the West Indies, the Gentlemen of Cambridge and many other stories.

Message from Fred

"Since I finished playing cricket I have been all over Britain performing my show. I've made this audio tape to reach an even larger audience around the world, to those people who, like me, love the game. Over the years I have heard so many wonderful stories that I think should be recorded before they get lost.

Yes, I want to make a bob or two selling this tape, especially as in my day all we got for playing in test matches was 50 quid. But at the same time I want to preserve a bit of cricket history.

If you buy my tape I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, keep your mouth shut. If you really like it get in touch and I will make sure your comments are put on this page."

James Herriot was the world's most famous and best loved veterinary surgeon whose books sold 50 million copies. Fred Trueman features in the books as himself. Alf Wight - Herriot's real name - was an enormous fan of Fred's and loved the game of cricket. His best selling travel book James Herriot's Yorkshire has now been made into a film and is available on video.
