About A Roy!

Hitting balls out of the ground is a magical sensation... there's a split second where you've got fear and excitement competing before you realize the ball's gone the journey and you're not going to get out." - Andrew 'Roy' Symonds

"as soon as I could walk I was into sport and wouldn't have been much older than twelve months when I got my first bat and ball... they were made of foam, and so my earliest cricketing moments were spent if not on the green playing fields of England, then certainly on the carpets." - Andrew 'Roy' Symonds

Adopted in Birmingham in 1975, Symmo as he is now known was brought to Australia and raised in Far North Queensland. 'Roy' could have played for the Poms but dreamed only of wearing the baggy green. He is now one of the most exciting players in the game and currently holds the world record for the most sixes in an innings as well as the most sixes in a match. Roy: Going For Broke is the touching and determined story of one man's dream to play at the top.
