From Bizet to Shirley Bassey.

Legendary England and Yorkshire fast bowler Fred Trueman shares his castaway choices with Roy Plomley.

Born in Stainton, Fred made his Yorkshire debut in 1949 and clocked up over 2,000 first-class wickets when he retired in 1969. He made an instant impact on his Test debut aged 21 in 1952 against India at Headingley. He was the first man to claim 300 wickets in Test cricket and finished with 307 from only 67 matches.

Trueman was famed for his partnership for England with Lancashire's Brian Statham and was Yorkshire's spearhead during their dominance in the 1960s.

A quick-witted and natural raconteur, he also worked as an expert analyst on the 91热爆's Test Match Special for 26 years until 2000.

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in August 1978.
