«From the Pavilion End» is the sporting autobiography of Dickie Bird, published by Orion in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Dickie Bird, cricket umpire, recounts in these memoirs his misadventures on the field: facing recalcitrant fast bowlers and grumpy batsmen, and also episodes with dubious Indian dentists or noisy peacocks in a Yorkshire garden.
Published in 1999, it belongs to the third volume of Dickie Bird's memoirs and includes a foreword by Brian Johnston.
For cricket fans and sports biographies, especially those interested in the figure of umpire Dickie Bird.
Harold Dennis "Dickie" Bird was an English cricketer and international cricket umpire. During his long umpiring career, he became a well regarded figure among players and the viewing public, not only due to his high standards as an umpire but also for humour and eccentricity.
