My autobiography. Dicky Bird. 1997.

Fiercely proud of his background as a Yorkshire miner’s son, Dicky Bird’s story follows his youth in Barnsley, his early days as a cricketer, through to his career as a an umpire and his experiences of the international scene, all told with total honesty by this very private person. Throughout his life he has courted both controversy and comedy. This book is a mixture of forthright views on the game and those involved in it, compelling accounts of what it is like to behind the scenes in cricket at the highest level, and hilarious stories, for which Dickie is so well known.
