1973 and Me: The England vs West Indies Test Series and a Memorable Childhood

Colin Babb

4.9/5 (18001 ratings)

Description:From 1968 to 1973, the West Indies did not win a Test series and lost 2-0 on their last England tour in 1969. By 1973, and despite this lack of success, West Indies cricket still played a central role as a medium of Caribbean self-expression in Britain. In the summer of 1973, could the West Indies deliver the performances and results to inspire the Caribbean diaspora in Britain?

1973 and Me reveals why this was a landmark year for many of the contributors, exploring the story, legacy, first hand testimonies and Colin's personal memoir of this iconic year. This was the year Colin 'discovered' cricket on television, which provided intense competition to his devotion to football Leeds United, the emergence of Clyde Best and more. The book reflects on patterns of Colin's family and Caribbean migration to Britain, wider perspectives on history, identity, music and politics, shared family experiences of television in the 1970s, a collection of memorable events, and interplay with the 1973 West Indies tour.

Contributors to 1973 and Me include: Dennis Amiss, Clyde Best, Harold 'Dickie' Bird, Keith Fletcher, Maurice Foster, Lance Gibbs, Colin Grant, Frank Hayes, Ron Headley, Bernard Julien, Alvin Kallicharan, Simon Lister, Professor Joe Moran, Deryck Murray and Professor Clem Seecharan.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
