BRIAN JOHNSTON, THE AUTHORISED BIOGRAPHY

 Tim Heald, 1995.

Arguably the most distinctive voice in British Broadcasting. He was best known to many as the jovial, chocolate-cake eating Johnners of cricket’s Test Match Special team. In a career of forty-eight years at the microphone, he was commentator for Royal weddings and State occasions, live reporter of crazy charades for ‘ In Town Tonight,’ and presenter of 733 editions of down your way.

Other than for a couple of very slight creases to the dust jacket, and the fact that someone has cut away approximately half of the title page, presumably to remove an inscription, the book is virtually as new.
