TURNER, GLENN — My Way

UK, Readers Union. 1976. Hardcover with dust jacket, 22.5cm. Book, Glenn Turner would surely be one of the first names written down when any New Zealand all-time greatest XI is debated in cricket's Valhalla. But he would also be judged one of the most controversial, a player and a man who polarised opinions. Turner rewrote the record books throughout his long career from 1964 to 1983. He is the only New Zealander to pass 100 first-class centuries, finishing with 103. Perhaps his finest test performance was in 1974 at Lancaster Park when he hit a century in each innings to help steer New Zealand to its first-ever test win over Australia. All this and more in this Readers Union publication. Faults?? the pages have a waviness to them (quality/type of the paper I suspect & definitely not damp) bw photos amidships, 199pp , Very Good/Good.
