I've previously read the excellent biographies by Leo McKinstry on the Charlton brothers and Sir Alf Ramsey. I really enjoy the style of the author and this book did not disappoint. A great insight to the life and times of Sir Jack Hobbs, This is not just a sporting story (although it is a great story, well told) this is a wonderful insight into the life of a (fairly) ordinary man (but with a great talent) making his way through the the late Victorian times to modern times.
