Freddie Flintoff: Coming Home: The Inspiring Autobiography and the Perfect gift for Father’s Day

Description

THIS AUTUMN’S MUST-HAVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Freddie Flintoff’s life in full, in his own words, through the moments that made him.

A look back at the moments that made Freddie Flintoff. Told in short scenes, Fred zeroes-in on the crucial instances that shaped his career and life – some highly celebrated, others less well-known, private, away from the cameras, but pivotal in shaping the man he is.

As a boy, Fred fell in love with the game of cricket, it gave him his route through life; out on the pitch he felt at home. Through his eyes we see: the very first time he picks up a bat, getting out first ball; the walk on to the pitch to face the Aussies in 2005; face-downs with rivals; run-ins with the media; the doctors telling him he can’t continue to play.

After retiring, Fred thought he’d left the game behind, relaunching himself in the world of entertainment, but following the car crash that turned his life upside down, it was cricket to which he returned. This book is a reflection on a unique life, a story like no other, and a love letter to the game that made him. Honest, open, reflective and funny, like the man himself, this is Freddie Flintoff, in full, in his own words.
