Join Ricky Ellcock as he discusses his eventful and inspiring life story. A Barbadian schoolboy who left his family behind to follow his sporting dreams, he became one of the fastest bowlers in England, but his hopes of playing Test cricket were cruelly thwarted by injury. Plunged into depression and forced to pursue another career, a childhood interest in aviation was his salvation. Ellcock relocated to the USA and qualified as a commercial airline pilot, becoming the first black captain with Virgin Atlantic. A book signing will follow the event.
