“1973 and Me articulates, with a vivid authority, the journey made from West Indian boyhood to British manhood. And the guiding light on this twisting and sometimes uncertain road is cricket. Caribbean cricket. Colin sets out with humour and deep understanding how the game informed his identity.” Simon Lister, author of Fire in Babylon: How the West Indies Cricket Team Brought a People to its Feet , and Supercat: The authorised biography of Clive Lloyd
“A warm and captivating read with a legendary cast of characters.” Lainy Malkani, Director of the Social History Hub, author and journalist
