From sportsman’s dinners to top corporate events, Fred is always in demand for his hilarious and entertaining presentations. Born in South Yorkshire’s only a few hundred yards of ploughland separated Fred from Nottinghamshire citizenship, something he gives thanks for everyday! At 18 he played his first game for Yorkshire at Cambridge University in 1949, when he was described in Wisden as a slow left-arm bowler — perhaps the most monumental error they ever made. In 1952 he played his first game for England at Headingley, and on the Saturday evening took three wickets in eight balls. He became the first bowler to take 300 Test wickets when Colin Cowdrey caught at slip the Neil Hawke, the Australian fast bowler, who was to become one of Fred’s greatest friends. A glittering career followed, in all he took 1,745 wickets for Yorkshire and scored 6,852 runs for his county with centuries against Northants and Middlesex. In all cricket – Test, County and representative first-class matches – his total wickets was 2,304 and no other fast bowler in the history of the game can claim more. He bowled more than 20,000 overall, almost all of them with total commitment and implacable hostility. His achievements stamp him as England’s greatest fast bowler of all time end he was the greatest character of his day and today is renowned as one of the most brilliantly-entertaining after-dinner speakers on the circuit.
