Blink acquires cricket legend Jimmy Anderson's 'no-holds barred' autobiography

Anderson said: "The last few weeks approaching retirement have been an emotional rollercoaster and it’s been incredible to see the reaction of the fans and to see that it means the same to them as it does to me. As a player, you don’t get a chance to reflect much—there’s always the next over to bowl, the next game to play—and so I’m completely thrilled to be taking the time now to look back over my career, while it’s all still fresh in my mind, and tell the story of the journey so far, because it’s been truly unforgettable."

Phillips said: "It is a dream come true to be welcoming Jimmy Anderson to the Blink list. His astonishing list of accomplishments speak for themselves—there truly has never been another cricketer like him. After 21 years, Jimmy may have closed the door on his England career, but now he’ll be bringing the same focus, intensity and honesty that has helped him become the greatest fast bowler of all time to his first full autobiography. Written with the brilliant Felix White, Jimmy’s promises to be a sports book for the ages and one that readers will be desperate to get hold of, read and share."

The book will be published by Blink on 7th November 2024 in hardback, e-book and audiobook.
