Fred Trueman quotes:

They asked me what I wanted to call my autobiography. I suggested: The Definitive Volume on the Finest Bloody Fast Bowler That Ever Drew Breath.

People only call me 'Fiery' because it rhymes with Fred, just like 'Typhoon' rhymes with Tyson

Unless something happens that we can't predict, I don't think a lot will happen

There's only one head bigger than Tony Greig's - and that's Birkenhead

England's always expecting. No wonder they call her the Mother Country

To be a great fast bowler, you need a big heart and a big bottom.

That's what cricket's all about: two batsmen pitting their wits against one another
