Book excerpt: The year 1892 is the birthdate of a football giant, one of the rare legends of the 21st century that does not smell of blood and tears. It is the year when a club, writing a history that should not only be read but also memorized, said "hello" to the world. Shortly after its founding, it became the nightmare of all national league teams, and then all of world football. There was hardly a team it did not beat, hardly a rival fan it did not sadden. In 125 years, it won 18 league championships, 5 European cups, 7 FA cups, 8 league cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 15 Charity Shield Cups, and 3 FA Youth Cups. As the club gained success, its coffers filled, and its fans grew in number. It captured the hearts of approximately 600 million people worldwide; its name, and song were on the lips of its fans every day. Joy and sorrow, night and day, death and life always follow each other, just like victory and defeat. From the early 1990s, the club ship began to take on water. As it slowly lost its strength and its rivals grew stronger, its popularity both in its own league and around the world began to wane. Executives became unhappy, fans hopeless, and the team tense. Derby victories won from time to time were just consolation prizes for the fans. Fans who wanted to be happy now either delved into nostalgic memories or childlike dreams. However, its love never ended and will never end. Because it is not just a football club; it is an excitement, a desire to win, a passion, and a love. Yes, it is a love and that love is red and white. And this book is written to express the expectations and dreams of those in love with the red and white colors, and is a message thrown into the ocean of the future in a bottle. Will the bottle reach a shore, will those living on the shore find the bottle, and read the message inside, will the words in the message mean anything to the reader? No one knows this.

Book excerpt: A stellar selection of former Liverpool players including John Barnes, Nigel Spackman, and Ronnie Moran candidly recollect their memories of the club's eventful 1980s era During the 1980s, Liverpool Football Club dominated English soccer, winning seven league titles, two European Cups, two FA Cups, and four League Cups. Here, Simon Hughes interviews some of the most colorful characters to have played for the club during that period. The resulting interviews, set against the historical backdrop of both the club and the city, provide a vivid portrait of life at Liverpool during an era when the club's unparalleled on-pitch success often went hand in hand with a boozy social scene fraught with rows, fights, and wind-ups. Former Liverpool players John Barnes, Bruce Grobbelaar, Howard Gayle, Michael Robinson, John Wark, Kevin Sheedy, Nigel Spackman, Steve Staunton, David Hodgson, and Craig Johnston, as well as first-team coach Ronnie Moran, all candidly recollect their memories of this exciting time in Liverpool Football Club's history.

Download or read book Red or Dead written by David Peace and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Editors' Choice "[T]he stuff of great literature." —The New York Times | "Red or Dead is a winner." —The Washington Post The place where the swinging sixties started – Liverpool, England, birthplace of the Beatles – wasn’t so swinging. Amid industrial blight and a bad economy, the port town’s shipping industry was going bust and there was widespread unemployment, with no assistance from a government tightening its belt. Even the Beatles moved to London. Into these hard times walked Bill Shankly, a former Scottish coal miner who took over the city’s perpetually last-place soccer team. He had a straightforward work ethic and a favorite song – a silly pop song done by a local band, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Soon he would have entire stadiums singing along, tens of thousands of people all dressed in the team color red . . . as Liverpool began to win . . . And soon, too, there was something else those thousands of people would chant as one: Shank-lee, Shank-lee . . . In Red or Dead, the acclaimed writer David Peace tells the stirring story of the real-life working-class hero who lifted the spirits of an entire city in turbulent times. But Red or Dead is more than a fictional biography of a real man, and more than a thrilling novel about sports. It is an epic novel that transcends those categories, until there’s nothing left to call it but – as many of the world’s leading newspapers already have – a masterpiece.

Download or read book 44 Years With The Same Bird written by Brian Reade and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-01-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been football books which have told their tale through the partisan heart of a besotted fan, and those that have dissected their subject through the scientific mind of an objective writer. But rarely does one fuse the blind passion of a lifelong supporter with the cold eye of an award-winning journalist in the way 44 Years With The Same Bird does. That bird is the Liver Bird, and on the surface this book is a pitch-side view of the entire modern era of Britain's most successful football club. It is Brian Reade's take on the extraordinary stories behind the 48 trophies he has seen Liverpool lift since watching them en route to their first ever FA Cup win in 1965, right through to the Champions League defeat in Athens in 2007. It takes in all of the big nights that propelled the club to five European Cups, three UEFA Cups, twelve titles, countless domestic cup triumphs, bitter failures, the tragic disasters in Sheffield and Brussels, as well as the barren years of the late 60s and the 90s. But the book goes far deeper than that. It's about how football allowed a father who was separated from his son to forge a precious bond. How a football club can make a city that is dying on its knees keep believing in itself. How you should never, as a professional, get too close to your heroes. How being part of a disaster at a football match (Hillsborough) can leave you a mental wreck, unwilling to carry on, but how witnessing a miracle on a football pitch (Istanbul) makes you realize that no matter how low you sink, you should never give in.

Book excerpt: -Such a weighty tome had working titles including 'The God' , 'Explosions happen all the time anyway' , 'Thank God for Deicide' , and , 'Thank Allah for the Deification process'. This book is renowned in the closest (in mass) 72 Galaxies as for being Top Class, Elite. – The style is, of course, similar to myself earlier, but our Autho(u)r is more EXPerienced, have you been? What, Poisoned? Well...well, Yeah! Several times during the creation of this Bonanza. It is mathmatically dirty, a statistical anomoly in many areas, a rare significant event, considered 'lively' by a nearby neighbouring galaxy. And? it has been likened, by its autho(u)r, recently, to being a burden, a millstone, and the vicious corridors of where our man rests have even witnessed several vague Tolkienesque references, Rings etc and Fingers, a combination of which is that little bit too much to adapt given the reality of the process of transforming the mental into the physical, to wrestle the thought, an abstract nothing to anything else, into being. Above all, this book is difficult to read if you are, like too many, Roger Francis's Enemy. You don't understand and don't even try, so dont try now. Also, don't forget your Potholders.

Download or read book Impacts and Implications for the Sports Industry in the Post COVID 19 Era written by Faganel, Armand and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sports industry had impressive global growth over the years, with factors from the introduction of e-sports and new streaming and viewing methods to sponsorships and digital media contributing to its rise. However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought upon a rapid change in this sector. Sports' seasons ended abruptly, people’s escape from reality suddenly vanished, their spending attitudes changed, live games and commercial flights were suspended, hotels were impossible to book, and consumers practically turned into prisoners within their own homes. No live sports matches were to follow on any media either, so specialized sports channels were forced to play old recordings rather than broadcasting new events. Even athletes themselves struggle to stay relevant and thus, try to utilize creative methods to enhance their brand value in these difficult times. With most of the sports leagues shut down during the pandemic, with a few exceptions which performed in empty venues, the restrictions diminished the sports experience compared to the pre-COVID-19 era and the impacts were widespread. Impacts and Implications for the Sports Industry in the Post-COVID-19 Era explores the changes that have been and will continue to be created by the unexpected disruptions that occurred as a result of the pandemic within the sports industry, fans consumption, and recreational habits. The chapters explore the status of sports after the pandemic, paths to recovery, and the future of sports, along with the many impacts and issues that have arisen due to changes in the industry necessitated by COVID-19. Covering important topics such as mental health, impacts on athletes and coaches, the market value for professional sports, consumer behavior during COVID-19, and the changes in marketing, tourism, and business, this book is ideally intended for sports managers, marketers, broadcasting agencies, media specialists, brand managers, fitness professionals, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the impacts on the sports industry and the outlook for sports in the post-COVID-19 era.
