Johnners - The Life Of Brian by Barry Johnston
Much-loved cricket commentator, broadcaster and national treasure Brian Johnston now has a defintive biography - written by his son, Barry.
A beautifully balanced bookIt certainly does tell the whole story * Christopher Martin-Jenkins, BBC Test Match Special *
In the commentary box at the end of every Test match the commentators vote on the Brian Johnston champagne moment - something extraordinary, memorable, even absurd. It is a fitting monument, as is this respectful, loving book * P.J. Kavanagh, Spectator *
Johnston maganes to steer that fine line of being the guardian of his father's memory without being sentimental...I found it immensely moving to read of the darker moments which touched the life of the man who has so often lifted me out of my own doldrums with his easy good humour * Sybil Ruscoe, Daily Telegraph *
JOHNNERS is a richly entertaining tribute to one of the pioneers and characters of radio and televsion broadcasting and will appeal to cricket lovers and non cricket lovers alike * Birmingham Post *
