Phil Tufnell had a long career playing for Middlesex County Cricket Club when in 2003 he sadly announced his retirement from the sport. Phil was one of the greatest wicket-takers in history, taking over 1,000 wickets over 16 years. Known as an unpredictable and creative bowler, Phil was able to think outside the box, and that is what made him a fantastic spinner. Since the end of his playing days, he has moved past the sport and into a new career; transforming himself into a TV personality.
Recently Phil was crowned the King Of The Jungle in the popular TV show, I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. Being a TV personality is one thing, but did you know that Phil also took the time to write several books? He wrote an autobiography called What Now?, which details the life of an international cricketer, and how his life was shaped by the game.
Later on he produced the humorous 'Bible of Cricket' called the A To Z of Cricket, created with Adam Hathaway. During his career, Phil Tufnell finished in the top 40 English wicket-takers of all time, with an average scoring of 37.68. While his playing career has come to an end, he is a fantastic TV personality, radio personality, and most importantly a phenomenal motivational cricket speaker.
