Description
How did it work, exactly, that Johnners magic?
Brian Johnston was arguably the most distinctive and best loved voice in British broadcasting. Elder statesman of the Test Match Special team, he was also Britain's most entertaining commentator with an irrepressible and infectious sense of humour. Johnners also had an enviable talent like few other broadcasters of making his listeners feel like close, personal friends.
Drawing on Brian Johnston's own papers and other previously unpublished sources as well as conversations with an enormous selection of his friends and colleagues, Tim Heald's fully authorised biography brings to us the many different sides of Johnners and encapsulates brilliantly his truly remarkable life.
Praise for Brian Johnston
