CLOSE, BRIAN — I Don't Bruise Easily

Futura Pubns. 1979. (ISBN: 9780708815298). Paperback. Paperback in good condition. Spine creased but tight copy. This book is the autobiography of one of sport's most emphatic personalites, a man even his enemies could not fail to respect. Brian Close, the youngest player ever to play for England: but picked and discarded, no less than eight times in a twenty-seven year Test career. Brian Close: pursued by controversy, dogged by misfortune, labelled the most spectacular failure of his age. Brian Close: A man without self-pity, of rare dignity in triumph and defeat, a rugged and forthright man who could rightly say, both literally and metaphorically, I Don't Bruise Easily. Used: Acceptable.
