Lester and the Deckchair Revolution

The Life and Times of Tony Pigott
Tony Pigott is perhaps best remembered as the man who postponed his wedding to play for England. But thatis just a very small part of his quietly extraordinary story.

The best schoolboy rackets player in the country; the Sussex player whose first three first-class wickets were
a hat trick of internationals; and yes, he did postpone his wedding to play his only Test for his country on the
sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll tour of New Zealand; the man who has injected himself as a diabetes sufferer every
day for the past 35 years; the figurehead of the deckchair revolution that led to Sussex winning the first County
Championship title in their history; the oesophageal cancer sufferer who has overcome the illness.
And yes, these are all one man. Anthony Charles Shackleton Pigott. As befits a distant relative of the explorer
Ernest Shackleton, it’s one hell of a story.
Told with the brutal honesty of a man who knows his cricket never scaled the heights but, after 46 full years in
the game as player, coach, chief executive, pitch inspector and match referee, is now on a mission to help other
cricketers suffering from cancer.
