	Fred Trueman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frederick Sewards Trueman OBE (February 6, 1931 – July 1, 2006) was a Yorkshire and England cricketer, regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers in history.
		Trueman wrote a column for a Sunday newspaper for 43 years and became an after-dinner speaker, which earned enough for him to have a large bungalow in the Yorkshire Dales and a Rolls Royce — with the number plate FST 307.
		Trueman anchored the programme with a pint of bitter and his pipe to hand, and signed off each week with his catchphrase, "I'll sithee".

	The Hindu : Sport / Cricket : Fred Trueman is no more
		Fred Trueman, who died on Saturday after a short battle with cancer, was the finest England fast bowler of his generation, and possibly the best there has ever been.
		Trueman, born on February 6, 1939, bowled about as fast as it was possible to bowl — there was no speed gun in his era which stretched from the late 1940s to 1968 — in 67 Tests but he was so much out of favour with the selectors that he missed another 50.
		Trueman's place was taken — even though he had taken 150 wickets the previous summer — by Frank Tyson and Brian Statham who played major parts in the victory.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Fred Trueman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Trueman's tally might have been nearer 400 if he hadn't missed numerous matches and tours because of various disciplinary breaches, some true, some imagined - he was once hauled before the Yorkshire committee for some misdemeanour, and escaped punishment by pointing out that he was 200 miles away playing for England at the time.
		But on his day Trueman was fast and frightening: in his first Test series, in 1952, he helped reduce India to 0 for 4 on his debut, and took 8 for 31 - the best Test bowling figures by a genuinely fast bowler at the time - in the third match.
		Trueman relished Yorkshire's dominance in the 1960s, and retired after their sixth title in the decade, in 1968, a season he also led them to victory over the touring Australians.

	After Dinner Speakers - Fred Trueman cricket speaker and ex England bowler
		While others have passed the 300 mark in later years it is important to remember that Fred did it when far fewer Tests were played than are staged today and he did not have an unbroken run on international matches.
		And remember, too, that when Fred was acquiring 307 Test wickets at 21.57 he was regularly taking 100 wickets a season for his county as well.
		Fred has met almost everyone in the world of cricket, and in this book he tells of anecdotes and dialogues between him and other great players such as Don Bradman, Mike Atherton, John Major and Harold Wilson.

	Fred Trueman, England's greatest fast bowler, dies
		In an era where professional players were expected to be seen and not heard, Trueman sometimes fell foul of stuffy officialdom, being denied a place on England's 1954/55 tour of Australia when his form clearly merited it.
		Blessed with a classical, sideways-on action, and an ability to swing the ball away at pace, Trueman was soon making a name for himself at county level and in 1952, on his Test debut, helped reduce India to nought for four.
		Almost as famous for his colourful character as his superb bowling, Trueman became the subject of numerous ribald stories even if, in fact, he'd never been involved at all.
