An acclaimed schoolboy cricketer, John Barclay made his Sussex debut in 1970, aged just sixteen. Two years later John joined
the county as a promising all-rounder, going on to captain the side from 1981 to 1986. After retirement he managed the England team on two major overseas tours and became Director of Cricket and Coaching for the Arundel Castle Cricket Foundation, encouraging young people from less advantaged
backgrounds to play and enjoy the game. To date, more than 200,000
youngsters have benefited from the scheme. John Barclay is President of the English Schools Cricket Association, President of the Cricket Society, and in 2009/10 served as President of the MCC. He is also the author of three books: The Appeal of the Championship, Lost in the Long Grass and his personal favourite, Life Beyond The Airing Cupboard - winner of the MCC
and Cricket Society Book of the Year award.
Also available - signed copies of Life Beyond The Airing Cupboard.
