- Charts his rise to national prominence two years later when he bowled England to victory against Australia at the Oval in the closing minutes, as well as other great feats while playing for his country
- Reveals the reasons behind his signing for Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket and the England rebel side to South Africa in 1982 and the controversy that ensued
- Examines his unique style of bowling and why he was so destructive on certain types of pitch
- Celebrates Underwood’s huge contribution to the great Kent side of the 1970s
- Covers Underwood’s committee and charity work in retirement, culminating in his presidency of MCC
