Synopsis :

Formed in 1875, Somerset County Cricket Club had a long history of winning nothing when Brian Rose took on the captaincy in 1978. Yet in his six years at the helm they won five trophies and came close to winning several more. With only two further successes since then, those gloriously entertaining summers of Rose’s men – Botham, Richards, Garner, Roebuck, Marks and Denning – remain unrivalled as the Golden Age of Somerset Cricket. Here in 'Rosey' Brian Rose tells the inside story of those years: from his apprenticeship under the extraordinary Brian Close to the sad and acrimonious break-up of the side. Reading his account of it all, it is not hard to understand how his quiet captaincy held together so many strong personalities. Both then and as Director of Cricket in the 2000s, he has been at the heart of so much of what is best about Somerset cricket.

À propos de l'auteur: Born in 1950, Brian Rose was brought up in Weston-super-Mare. He played cricket for Somerset from 1969 to 1987, captaining them in the years of their great success, and in eight Tests for England. After a career in the paper trade, he returned to Somerset as a highly influential Director of Cricket and is now the club's President.
