ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Available for over a year

To many, John Arlott is simply THE voice of cricket. For more than thirty years, his gruff Hampshire burr guided us through the summer game - and his voice is indelibly linked to some of cricket's most iconic moments. And, even after his retirement to Alderney in 1980, the great and the good of the sport would visit him, to share memories and - on more than one occasion - a bottle of something bubbly. In this short programme, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Jack Murley looks back at Arlott's legacy in the game, using archive audio and interviews with Jonathan Agnew and Henry Blofeld to examine what it was that made him so special.
