Chris Adams played for England, became Sussex's greatest ever captain and, as a coach, made Surrey trophy winners again. There have been difficult times, too, involving internecine warfare, frustration with the England hierarchy and untimely death; but, true to form, 'Grizzly' fronts up again and tells his own remarkable story of a life in cricket.

1966 - the year of English sporting legend. But, those 12 months witnessed so much more than the all-important 30 July at Wembley. This book revisits the time, recreates the atmosphere, talks to those who were there (at Wembley and beyond), and builds a picture of what we argued over, ate, worried about, listened to, wore and watched in 1966.

The story of how Sussex, the oldest of the county clubs, finally won the County Championship in 2003, 164 years after they were founded. It tells the background behind the 1996 revolution that made it all possible; explains just how the title was won; profiles the major players in the drama; and talks to the merry ghosts of other, failed campaigns.
