Fifty Legends of British Sport

Colin Edwards has picked fifty favourite British sports personalities and compiled detailed biographies based on the chronological order of events throughout their careers.

The career records after each biography are some of the most detailed likely to be found, showing achievements from schools to youth through to senior level, from county/area to national and international honours.

This is a book which cannot fail to interest enthusiasts of sport as it is full of names which have become synonymous with Britain at its sporting best - Sir Roger Bannister, Gareth Edwards, Jimmy Greaves, Ian Botham, Bobby Moore, Stirling Moss, Torvill and Dean, Tessa Sanderson and many, many more. . .

It is also probably the best reference anyone could have for any of the fifty personalities included.

Caricature drawings by artist Clive Wakfer add to the text of the book allowing each legend to be seen in sporting character.
