Author BiographyAll-rounder Paul Smith was part of the most successful domestic cricket team in the history of the English game. Warwickshire, under captain Dermot Reeve, won every trophy in sight and were known as 'the Manchester United of cricket'. Paul's contribution included a man-of-the-match performance in the 1994 Benson and Hedges trophy victory, the year that Warwickshire won an unprecedented domestic treble of County Championship, one-day League and B&H Cup, while losing out agonisingly on the fourth and final prize, the NatWest trophy in the final. His world crashed around him after his hedonisitic lifestyle saw him banned from playing cricket for admitting taking non-performance-enhancing drugs. Paul has rebuilt his life by using his own experiences to inspire inner city kids in both the UK and the USA to reject modern temptations such as drugs, violence and guns. He now works for the Prince's Trust in Britain and Los Angeles.
