It's refreshing, too, that a down-the-line regional newspaper stalwart is getting the honours. The Larwood book's definitely one for the Christmas list.
He's all good, him. After the review I did for PYDKM in WSC, where I said I'd love to pull him up on a few things, he dropped me an e-mail and said he was interested in what I'd like to ask him.
I was in a bit of a rush when i posted about this last month. I have to add that I think his Larwood biography is the finest sports book I have read for years. No doubt a great story but it is so well written.

I read this recently, and I loved it. I'm not a big cricket fan but that's not really relevant when you have such a great story as Larwood and the Bodyline series.
Hamilton's other books are wonderful too. He has a beautiful way of writing prose that tugs at your heartstrings. 'The Footballer Who Could Fly' had me close to tears a few times.
