The Book of Fred: Funny anecdotes and hilarious insights from the much-loved TV presenter and cricketer

Product Information

Fred’s approach to life draws on the sublime (his series winning performance in the 2005 Ashes) and the ridiculous (singing Elvis Presley’s ‘Suspicious Minds’ in front of a live audience), from highs (making the transition to top TV presenter) to occasional lows (accidentally upsetting the lovely Bruce Forsyth), from the profane (discussing Shane Warne’s barnet with Hollywood royalty) to the profound (why ‘having a go’ leads to self-respect). But Freddie Flintoff has had a moment to reflect and he's noticed that throughout his four decades, although there's been little method in the madness, there has been the occasional common thread.

Initially something felt not quite right, then I started reading it with his voice in my head and it just worked.The only chapter I skipped was the cricket/sport one just out of personal preference as I wouldn’t know what he was on about! We recommend that you check with your local customs officials or post office for further information. I actually thought, given Fred's sense of humour, that the book would have been a lot more entertaining than it actually was.

Being Freddie" by Andrew Flintoff offers cricket fans a glimpse into the life of the legendary all-rounder, but falls short of reaching the heights one might expect from such an iconic figure.

Following his cricket career, he has pursued a career in television and radio, featuring in such television programmes as “A League of Their Own” and being one of the presenters of “Top Gear”. The book presents an account of Flintoff's journey from a Lancashire lad to becoming a cricketing hero.
