Download or read book I m Not Really Here written by Paul Lake and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Lake was Manchester born, a City fan from birth. His footballing talent was spotted at a young age and, in 1983, he signed coveted schoolboy forms for City. Only a short time later he was handed the team captaincy. An international career soon beckoned and, after turning out for the England under-21 and B teams, he received a call-up to the England training camp for Italia '90. Earmarked as an England captain in the making, Paul became a target for top clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool, but he always stayed loyal to his beloved club, deeming Maine Road the spiritual home at which his destiny lay. But then, in September 1990, disaster struck. Paul ruptured his cruciate ligament; sustaining the worst possible injury that a footballer can suffer. And so began his nightmare. Neglected, ignored and misunderstood by his club after a succession of failed operations, Paul's career began to fall apart. Watching from the sidelines as similarly injured players regained their fitness, he spiralled into a prolonged bout of severe depression. With an enforced retirement from the game he adored, the death of his father and the collapse of his marriage, Paul was left a broken man. Set against a turning point in English football, I'm Not Really Here is the powerful story of love and loss and the cruel, irreparable damage of injury; of determination, spirit and resilience and of unfulfilled potential and broken dreams.

Download or read book Up Front written by Clive Allen and published by deCoubertin Books. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clive Allen was one of the finest goalscorers of his generation, but arguably his biggest battle has been to prove himself the best in his own family. The son of legendary Spurs double-winning forward, Les Allen, elder brother of QPR forward, Bradley, cousin and teammate of Paul Allen, and nephew of Dennis Allen, Clive was born into a family of footballing aristocracy. His remarkable 49-goal haul for Tottenham in the 1986/87 season still stands as a club record which earned him the rare dual honour of Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year and Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year in addition to the First Division Golden Boot. That stunning achievement was the climax of a career which began as a prodigy at Queens Park Rangers – where he was the highest league scorer in England’s four divisions at the age of 18 – before becoming English football’s first million-pound teenager when signing for Arsenal in 1980. Yet, in one of the most mysterious transfers of modern times, Clive was sold to Crystal Palace without playing a game and went on to represent eight more clubs, including a year in France with Bordeaux, before a brief stint as an NFL kicker for the London Monarchs. Later, he was assistant manager at Harry Redknapp’s resurgent Tottenham team, and twice served as caretaker manager at White Hart Lane. Now one of football’s most respected broadcast experts, Allen has for the first time decided to tell his life story in full. Frank, funny and forthright, he takes you inside the dressing room and onto the pitch and tells what it is like to have lived a life in the glare of a game he has devoted his life to.

Download or read book A Man s Game written by Andrew Keenan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1879 the game of football appeared to have passed Manchester by. The city boasted more than two dozen rugby clubs and nine lacrosse clubs - but only one football side. Not surprisingly, the Sheffield Daily Telegraph concluded that "the association game has apparently no fascination in Manchester". But a year later the Anglican parish in an industrial boom town on the edge of Manchester started a football club. The aim was to promote a "Muscular" Christianity, and to stem the flow of young men away from the Church. By 1883, as violence on Manchester's football pitches reached dangerous - even fatal - levels, that church team disbanded. But some of those young men went on to form another club, Gorton Association, that is now known round the globe as Manchester City Football Club. In A Man's Game author Andrew Keenan also charts the dramatic transformation of Gorton, from sleepy pasture-land in the 1840s to a bustling centre of the iron and railway industries in less than a generation. It was a world of ethnic conflict, religious in-fighting and labour unrest, but also one of high ideals, rising living standards and wondrous invention. Keenan also sheds new light on how football was introduced to Manchester, and why Manchester United probably have the wrong formation date. And he reveals, for the first time, the date and location of the first game of association football ever played in the city. The meticulously-researched book throws up many surprising finds, including the violent suicide of a Gorton clergyman, a transvestite sex scandal and an historic lacrosse game involving Iroquois Indians. It also solves the mystery of why Manchester City's forerunner, Gorton Association, wore a Maltese Cross on their shirts, tells the story of a women's football match that sparked riots, and reveals how the city almost hosted a rugby World Cup in 1880. For a club who have recently been accused of having "no history", A Man's Game shows how Manchester City's formative years were actually interwoven with the rich and turbulent history of the world's first industrial city.
