Yorkshire Grit

Yorkshire Grit: The Biography of Ray Illingworth traces the rise of a brilliant Yorkshire cricketer from humble origins to the England captaincy and his triumph in regaining the Ashes in Australia in 1970/71. But the qualities that made him a fine captain, paradoxically, were the undoing of his time as manager both at Yorkshire and with England.
