  Was there a cricketer who had more passion for the game of cricket than Derek Semmence? He played for Sussex from 1956 to 1959, and for a year in 1967, during which time he became the youngest player to score a century for Sussex, a record which stood for 66 years. He was the cricket coach at Hurstpierpoint College from September 1967 and then groundsman from September 1975 until retirement in 2003. He played a good deal for Sussex Martlets in the 1980s and he played seniors cricket for Sussex for the Over 50s, 60s and 70s teams. In this podcast Mark Semmence, Derek's son, Martin Speight, Roger Packham and Desmond Devitt discuss Mark's book 'Breaking Boundaries' a new book about the life and times of Derek Semmence.
