Reseña del editor:
This text features 100 colourful portraits of the cricketing characters, both within the game and outside, whom Ian Botham has come across in his eventful career and who have been a major influence on him: from top players, umpires and coaches to pop stars, writers and philanthropists. Among the cast of characters who feature in Botham's own "Who's Who" of cricket are top players past and present, such as Viv Richards, Brian Close, Shane Warne and Nasser Hussain. Umpire Dickie Bird and the late John Arlott also have a place in Beefy's hall of fame. Others associated with cricket include Mick Jagger, Nelson Mandela, Elton John (who could often be found babysitting in the Botham household), and many more who in Beefy's opinion have been a positive influence in the game during his era.
