An amusing story of an 86 year old pensioner winning half of his 47 parking cases. A memoir as a sports writer which took him to 92 countries and met 350 famous sportsmen, politicians, royalty, crooks and personalities.
This light-hearted book is not wholly about the perils of trying to park but it has a strong theme about cricket and football, and it is also a memoir as a veteran sports writer for the Daily Mail. I write about 350 or more personalities I've interviewed or known about. My hero was Denis Compton. I used to listen to a portable radio in hospital aged 11 about his dynamic batting after WW2.

Another hero was the great all-round cricketer, Lord Learie Constantine, whom I wrote his articles in the Daily Sketch. He was the first Afro-Caribbean to be a Lord and as a barrister he broke the colour bar in the High Court when he won damages of five guineas, also gave advice for the Race Relations Acts. No-one has done more for diversity than this remarkable, lovable man - and today's generation haven't heard of him, sadly. We are campaigning for a statue of him in the Parliament Estate to add to the three black statues there compared to nearly 300 white statues in the borough of Westminster.

Born in the Isle of Wight in 1935, Brian started reporting football and cricket at 14, graduated to the Daily Sketch and Daily Mail for 40 years and has had 29 books published.
