Book description
Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff is one of the most exciting cricketers in the
world and has improved out of all recognition during the last two years.
In 2003, he was England's best player at the World Cup. Then,
explosively, he lit up the second half of the summer in 2004, lifting
spirits at Lord's with a bat-smashing 142. He walked off with the
England man of the series award and averages to flaunt. This book marks
his story so far in his own words, taking us up to and including the
summer of 2005, during which Flintoff has performed heroics with both
bat and ball against Australia. Freddie will highlight the moments and
matches in his career that helped him dramatically on his way forward,
and reveals what it is like to play for one of the most successful
England cricket teams in history. 'If ever a book demonstrated the
single-mindedness needed to be a successful sportsperson, Andrew
Flintoff's memoir is it.'
Andrew Flintoff was born in 1977 in Preston, Lancashire. At the age
of 20, he was picked for his Test debut against South Africa, and later
'Freddie' was instrumental in the victory against Australia in the 2005
Ashes series. He lives with his wife Rachael and three children.
