Description

Sussex and England superstar Maurice Tate's story is one of triumph and fame, controversy and tragedy. In the 1920s and 1930s, the barnstorming all-rounder was the most popular cricketer in the world; but a nervous breakdown and a bitter sacking awaited Sussex's 'greatest ever player'. It's time to remember this forgotten great of English cricket.

A lifelong Sussex cricket fan, he studied history at Cambridge before becoming a reporter and cricket columnist on the Brighton Evening Argus.
