THE DOTS WILL NOT BE JOINED: Football. Cricket. *Stories*. by Rick Walton
A truly original, blisteringly entertaining bundle through a life in sport; playing, watching, coaching. Rich, upful and wise, fearlessly conflating football and cricket stories with alarmingly Big Ideas.
"Nobody else is currently writing about cricket, and much besides, like Rick WaltonHe may even be Pembrokeshire's Hunter S Thompson..." Brian Carpenter, Wisden writer and award winner.; "Rick is a man who cares deeply and writes energetically - a fine combination. A wonderfully positive presence, be it in the press box or online". Adam Collins, broadcaster and writer.; "This is sports writing of a different kind. If Neville Cardus had somehow collaborated with Jack Kerouac, they might have produced what Rick Walton does here". Paul Mason, writer and broadcaster; "Rick Walton cuts through the pomposity and ego in sport and gets to the issues that really matter. His writing is authoritative, engaging - and provocative when it needs to be. As a writer who works at the grass roots, he also speaks from experience". Ian Herbert, sportswriter, Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday
Rick Walton, having been half-decent at football, cricket and most of those ball-juggling adventures, has now been coaching cricket for a living for ten years. Sport is absolutely in the blood. He is also an ECB Accredited writer who attends elite-level cricket - often women's - to report back in his own, genuinely inimitable style. Rick prefers the moniker 'bloggist' to blogger, largely because it feels left-fieldier... and he is that way inclined.
