A fascinating story ... Great research, beautifully written and I loved it.

Sir Geoffrey Boycott

Bill Edrich shines through these pages ... a wonderful book that needed to be written.

Henry Blofeld, former 'Test Match Special' commentator

It's Bill Edrich to a T. An excellent book, no doubt about that.

Dickie Bird, English former cricketer and international cricket umpire

What an extraordinary life. What an extraordinary man. In Leo McKinstry, Edrich has the biographer his remarkable story deserves.

Richard Whitehead, former deputy books editor, 'The Times'

A triumph. Leo McKinstry superbly draws together the many strands of a fascinating but flawed figure.

Lawrence Booth, 'Wisden' editor

McKinstry's biography will fascinate cricket lovers.
