Publisher's Synopsis
"Real life selectors in sports must be sensible and coldly objective, dry-eyed, unfeeling, and heartless. This one hasn't had to be. He even subscribes to the certainty that 'great' is, well, a really great word". Cliff Morgan reads this collection of truly classic moments, as the award-winning sports writer ranges far and wide in his inimitably humorous and provocative prosecution and defence, and, in doing so, recreates a multitude of highs and lows from a century of sport.
