Somerset Cricketers

This is the fourth volume in the series outlining the life of each man who has played first-class cricket for Somerset. Appropriately enough for a club with a rich history, bursting at the seams with larger-than-life characters, the first person featured here is that great cricketing eccentric, the late Brian Close, who joined the club in 1971, after falling out with Yorkshire, and set about instilling a winning mentality.
