Half Time: The Glorious Summer of 1934 |
Three sporting heroes: Hedley Verity, who bowled out the Australians at Lord's; Fred Perry, who won Wimbledon and Henry Cotton, who won the Open Golf - all in a matter of weeks. Fascinating for the very different personalities whose lives amounted to a social history of the times. Vividly related with insight into the role of sport and into Britain at half-time between the wars.
