Brian Crutcher: The Authorised Biography Paperback – Illustrated, 21 April 2008

Exceptionally well-researched biography, giving a great insight into the life of one of the most talented British riders of all time and, at the same time, providing a detailed chronicle of speedway in the 1950's. Overall an absorbing read for anyone interested in the history of speedway racing and its relative popularity in the immediate post-war era. It's a pity there isn't a bit more about Brian Crutcher's life after retiring from the sport, but that doesn't detract from the quality of this excellent book.

Great book purchased for a friend who is a family friend of Brian Crutcher

A must read!, I have met Brian on numerous occasions and the book is of no surprise he is still up to his antics these days and is always commited to being the best a true TOP sportsman!

This book was hard to put down and chronicles the speedway career of Brian Crutcher very well. It could have been just a list of events, it was a list of events but they were woven together with style and real feeling. I had to duck the flying cinders in some chapters. I must point out a personal interest as my father was racing at the same time although he did not crop up in the book. I got to like this man even though I have never met him such was the description and tale telling by Tom Wareham.I would have liked to have read a little more about the rest of Mr Crutcher's career at the end of the book however. That said I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story.
