Lester and the Deckchair Revolution

The best schoolboy rackets player in the country; the Sussex player whose first three first-class wickets were a hat trick of internationals; and yes, he did postpone his wedding to play his only Test for his country on the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll tour of New Zealand; the man who has injected himself as a diabetes sufferer every day for the past 35 years; the figurehead of the deckchair revolution that led to Sussex winning the first County Championship title in their history; the oesophageal cancer sufferer who has overcome the illness.

And yes, these are all one man. Anthony Charles Shackleton Pigott. As befits a distant relative of the explorer Ernest Shackleton, it's one hell of a story.

Told with the brutal honesty of a man who knows his cricket never scaled the heights but, after 46 full years in the game as player, coach, chief executive, pitch inspector and match referee, is now on a mission to help other cricketers suffering from cancer.

Lester and the Deckchair Revolution encapsulates the extraordinary life and adventures of Anthony Pigott, offering an inspiring tale of perseverance and the indomitable human spirit.
