The story of one of the finest wicketkeeper-batsmen in the history of the game. Born in Dada in Bombay in 1938, Farokh Engineer quickly displayed a prodigious talent with both bat and gloves and was selected to play for the India Starlets in the late 1950s - he signed for Lancashire in 1967. Farokh was instrumental in both the renaissance of the Red Rose County's fortunes and in the forging of the Indian team into one of the major forces in world cricket. Foreword by John Major.
