Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although they have spent nearly all their time in the lower divisions of the Football League, York City Football Club can boast a number of fine achievements and have contributed a great deal to the sporting history of the ancient city that is their home. This book illustrates City's past with a superb collection of action photographs, team shots, player portraits, programme covers and other items of memorabilia. Each decade has provided heroes and drama. In the 1930s the club reached the FA Cup sixth round and Bootham Crescent housed its biggest ever attendance of 28,123. Wartime crowds were entertained by a number of star guest players and in the mid-fifties City came so near to being the first-ever Division Three side to reach Wembley, losing to Newcastle United in an FA Cup semi-final replay. The 1960s saw an exciting promotion campaign and in 1974 City climbed to the highest point in their history when they reached the old Second Division and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Sutherland. After a few less fruitful seasons, York won the Division Four title in some style in 1983/84 (becoming the first club to reach 100 points in a season) and they achieved another promotion in 1992/93 after a tense afternoon at Wembley. In recent years they have pulled off some remarkable giant-killing feats, including Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton among their victims in cup competitions. With detailed captions from club historian David Batters, this is an essential read for anyone with an interest in York City and will delight both young and old supporters of the team.

Download or read book Our Boys written by Joe Drape and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-08-18 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring portrait of the extraordinary high-school football team whose quest for perfection sustains its hometown in the heartland The football team in Smith Center, Kansas, has won sixty-seven games in a row, the nation's longest high-school winning streak. They have done so by embracing a philosophy of life taught by their legendary coach, Roger Barta: "Respect each other, then learn to love each other and together we are champions." But as they embarked on a quest for a fifth consecutive title in the fall of 2008, they faced a potentially destabilizing transition: the greatest senior class in school history had graduated, and Barta was contemplating retirement after three decades on the sidelines. In Smith Center--population: 1,931--this changing of the guard was seismic. Hours removed from the nearest city, the town revolves around "our boys" in a way that goes to the heart of what America's heartland is today. Joe Drape, a Kansas City native and an award-winning sportswriter for The New York Times, moved his family to Smith Center to discover what makes the team and the town an inspiration even to those who live hundreds of miles away. His stories of the coaches, players, and parents reveal a community fighting to hold on to a way of life that is rich in value, even as its economic fortunes decline. Drape's moving portrait of Coach Barta and the impressive young men of Smith Center is sure to take its place among the more memorable American sports stories of recent years.

Book excerpt: They have names like Barmy Bernie, Daft Donald, and Steamin' Sammy. They like lager (in huge quantities), the Queen, football clubs (especially Manchester United), and themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You play soccer. You watch soccer. You live soccer You breathe soccer. But do you think about soccer? Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, inspiring the absolute devotion of countless fans around the globe.

Simon Critchley thinks it’s all of these and more. In his new book, he explains what soccer can tell us about each, and how each informs the way we interpret the game, all while building a new system of aesthetics, or even poetics, that we can use to watch the beautiful game.

Book excerpt: “A brisk and informative look at Major League Soccer’s first twenty years . . . West gives MLS fans a worthy chronicle.” (Booklist). In 1988, FIFA decreed that the 1994 World Cup would be played in the United States – with the condition that the U.S. would start a new professional league. The North American Soccer League had failed just four years prior, and the prospects of launching a new league for Americans, who didn’t share the rest of the world’s love for soccer, were both exciting and daunting. The United States of Soccer is the engaging history of Major League Soccer’s bootstrap origins prior to its 1996 launch, its near-demise in the early 2000s, and its surprising resilience and growth as it won recognition from soccer fans around the world. The book also explores the origin of MLS’s superfans who set the tone within MLS stadiums and defining what it is to be a North American soccer fan. Phil West chronicles those fans’ voices – intermingled with league officials, former players and coaches, journalists, and newspaper accounts – to detail MLS’s remarkable journey.
