Botham: Head On is the forthright and uncompromising autobiography of one of cricket’s most charismatic and controversial figures, Sir Ian Botham — the talismanic England all-rounder whose performances defined an era of Ashes cricket and reshaped the role of the modern cricketer.
 
Published in 2007, this first edition captures Botham “head on” — candid, reflective, and unapologetic. The book revisits his meteoric rise with Somerset and England, the legendary 1981 Ashes series (often referred to as “Botham’s Ashes”), his fearless batting, aggressive swing bowling, and his larger-than-life presence both on and off the field.
