The "Cat" has never been far from controversy - thrown out of both public and comprehensive school, bust ups with officialdom on and off the pitch, the violent incidents from his first marriage to an ex-prostitute, and the subject of numerous drugs allegations, most recently on the 1996/97 England tour of New Zealand. In his autobiograpy, Tufnell reflects on his topsy-turvy career in the game, and how at each dawn the establishment have undermined his game, from the years of Gooch's captaincy to the current era under Mike Atherton.
