REVIEW QUOTES
A
terrific book. It amazed me how good it was.
Frank
Keating
Beautifully
written. Lloyd was and is an exceptional cricketer and man.
Mike
Selvey,
The Guardian
A
great read.
Garry
Richardson,
Radio Five
A
lovely biography.
Simon
Kuper,
Financial Times
I
like the short sentences, the pace and, dare I say it, a sense of quiet
authority.
I
thought I knew a bit about Clive, but I have learned much more.
David
Foot
Supercat is a great story, very well told. It captures both the thoughtful articulacy and the inner-steeliness
of
the leader of that great West Indian team in a highly readable biography. Great
cover, too.
Duncan Steer, Spin magazine
Boasting the coolest book jacket of this summer or any other,
this biography offers a chance to relive a great career, albeit well after the fact.
But it also gives us a glimpse behind cricket’s most famous spectacles.
And that, as far as I’m concerned, is Kool and the gang.
Andy Afford, All Out Cricket magazine
A distinguished book which is beautifully written and exceptionally informative.
By all means buy a copy as a Christmas present for a family member
– but if you do, don’t expect them to help with the washing-up until well into Boxing Day.
Paul Edwards, Liverpool Daily Post
A
well-crafted volume. In his quiet, understated way Lloyd is a man full of ideas
and of passion.
Stephen
Brenkley,
The Independent on Sunday
An
admirable new biography. Lister has done well to extract as much as he has done
from
a man to whom diplomatic reticence and good manners come naturally.

Shindler,
The Wisden Cricketer
