I am old enough to remember dear Fred as one of our greatest fast bowlers.....but what a Great comic raconteur....I am still crying with laughter!!! Please listen to these hilarious memories iif you love cricket...Fred should have been a comedian as well as one of our best ever fast bowlers...God bless the wonderful man!!
I had this album and there was Fred actually singing a song called 'Lost Bonus' written by Ray Wadsworth, an old trombone playing mate of mine in the music business. I reminded Fred of this when he turned up I was doing a gig near Malaga on the Costa del Sol at a Sporting Club Fred had invested in. 'Oh aye" he mused over his glass of red wine (never a pin t of beer!!). "And ah never got paid for that". Now that's a true Yorkshireman!!
Preparing to open the bowling in a charity fundraiser ,captain says "fred ,this guy's our best doner, it's important he gets off the mark," fred says "aye the first one ll be a long hop outside the off ,if he doesn't get off the mark the next one ll pin him to the bloody sight screen."
Too young to see him bowl but Fred made many trips to Australia and was a regular in the commentary box in the 70s 80s,always his humour was dry and funny
Much further north than Middlesbrough in the first week of May to play cricket? Soon England will be playing tests at Chester-le-Street in the second week of April!
Fred is one of the best, if not the best. I have heard that Wes Hall is very similar to Fred as a story-teller, hopefully we can get one or more from Wes, or anyone else who can match them, like David Lloyd. There's a story in Fred's book of him not being given two appeals for LBW against a batsman. When Fred clean bowled him later he looked at the umpire and said: "That was bloody close wasn't it!"
I am Aussie. Fred Trueman, one of The Greatest ever. Pretty good story teller as well. I'll see thee!
This is how to tell a story, brilliant!

Yes he could of been another racist Bernard Manning

I played with Mike Cowan at Doncaster town.He told me a few stories about Freddie Truman, very funny they were.

When Middlesborough was in God´s own county.
Where can I buy the whole set
With all these crap about Kerry O Keefe being hilarious, every cricket fan should listen to this
😂😂😂😂😂😂
If WG Grace equates to Babe Ruth, then Fiery Fred equals Dizzy Dean, in style on and off the field.
cherry Street lol

Nice story but totally inaccurate. Mick Cowan didn't even play in either game!
David Griffiths Why not report that Hall didn’t start his run from the car park? It’s called artistic licence.
Have a day off
I’d say your great fun at parties! 😂
