READ BY JONATHAN AGNEW & FOREWORD READ BY THE MAGNIFICIENT STEPHEN FRY WITH SURPRISE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM JONATHANS TEST MATCH SPECIAL COLLEAGUES!! Perfect for cricket fans everywhere Thanks Johnners is a warm & witty tribute to Brian Johnston & his time at the helm of Test Match Special. READ BY JONATHAN AGNEW FOREWORD BY STEPHEN FRY & SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCES FROM TEST MATCH SPECIAL COLLEAGUES. The Test Match Special on-air incident in which Jonathan Agnews comment on Ian Bothams attempt to avoid stepping on his stumps -- He just couldnt quite get his leg over" provoking prolonged fits of giggles most notably from Brian Johnston has been voted the greatest piece of sporting commentary ever. The friendship between " Aggers" & " Johnners" became immortalised through that broadcasting classic but there was a far deeper bond between the two men as this fascinating book reveals. Jonathan Agnew had grown up to the sound of Johnston Arlott & a young Martin-Jenkins et al on TMS as he followed his father around on the family farm ear glued to the transistor radio but the two men met formally only when Agnew joined the BBC team at Headingley in 1991. Thus began a great working partnership which fuelled by a mutual passion for the noble game bridged the generation gap & ended only with Johnstons sudden death in 1994. As this book demonstrates so convincingly Johnnerss wit warmth & sense of fun was a feature not only of his cricket commentaries but also in the way he lived his life. His influence on " Aggers" is clearly recognisable in the same amiable & informal manner in which his successor presents Test Match Special today. Thanks Johnners is a rich blend of biography & anecdote of antics & dramas on & off the pitch in & out of the commentary box its pages filled with stories about the great names of cricket including Fred Trueman Geoffrey Boycott Vivian Richards Michael Holding & Ian Botham. Just as TMS is the sound of summer so Thanks Johnners is the fresh breeze rippling the long grass of remembered pleasures." ...
