Devon was a fearsome fast bowler for England taking 144 wickets in 40 Tests and 10 one day internationals. Few cricket fans will forget Devon’s 9-57 at The Oval in 1994. After being hit on the head by a bouncer, he uttered the immortal words “You guys are history” to the fielding South Africans, before dismantling their innings in one of the great Test bowling performances.
While raw pace earned him his place in the side, his famously eccentric batting at the bottom of the order seemed only to enhance his popularity with England fans. He took more than 1,000 first class wickets, mainly for Derbyshire County Cricket Club, and his charismatic style endeared him to the public.
Since retiring from the game, Devon has kept busy and supports various charities including working with a Chance to Shine Charity which promotes youth cricket in England. This signed bat is a great gift for any cricket enthusiast.
