Download or read book Bill Nicholson Spurs written by John Maguire and published by John Maguire. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Nicholson's career at Tottenham Hotspur was one of the most enduring in the history of British football. He was unique among his contemporaries in that he spent the whole of his professional career at one club. During his 39 years at Spurs, he won a League Championship medal as a player, but far surpassed that achievement when he was appointed manager of the club in 1958. Under his charge, Spurs became the first winners of the League and F.A. Cup ‘Double' in the 20th Century, and the first British side to win a major European trophy in the European Cup Winners' Cup final. Ten years later, Bill’s Spurs became the first British side to win two major European trophies, with their success in the very first UEFA Cup final. Added to these wonderful achievements, where Bill's three F.A. Cup wins - a then post-war record - and two League Cup honours, a lasting testament of the career of a remarkable footballing talent. It’s no wonder those times became affectionately known as the ‘Glory, Glory Years.’ This e-book celebrates the life and times of Bill, and gives a comprehensive account of those ‘Glory Years’ at Spurs. A section advertising available memorabilia is also included.
Download or read book Step Across This Line written by Salman Rushdie and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the great novelists of our day, a vital, brilliant new book of essays, speeches and articles essential for our times. Step Across This Line showcases the other side of one of fiction’s most astonishing conjurors. On display is Salman Rushdie’s incisive, thoughtful and generous mind, in prose that is as entertaining as it is topical. The world is here, captured in pieces on a dazzling array of subjects: from New York’s Amadou Diallo case to the Wizard of Oz, from U2 to fifty years of Indian writing, from a tribute to Angela Carter to the struggle to film Midnight’s Children. The title essay was originally delivered at Yale as the 2002 Tanner lecture on human values, and examines the changing meaning of frontiers in the modern world -- moral and metaphorical frontiers as well as physical ones. The collection chronicles Rushdie’s intellectual journeys, but it is also an intimate invitation into his life: he explores his relationship to India through a moving diary of his first visit there in over a decade, “A Dream of Glorious Return.” Step Across This Line also includes “Messages From the Plague Years,” a historic set of letters, articles and reflections on life under the fatwa. Gathered together for the first time, this is Rushdie’s humane, intelligent and angry response to a grotesque threat, aimed not just at him but at free expression itself. Step Across This Line, Salman Rushdie’s first collection of non-fiction in a decade, has the same energy, imagination and erudition as his astounding novels -- along with some very strong opinions.

Download or read book Danny Blanchflower written by Dave Bowler and published by Orion. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biography of Danny Blanchflower In these days of player' agents, corporate hospitality, share options and television bonuses, it's often the football, the glory and the romance of the game, that gets overlooked. Back in the 1950s and 1960s there was no footballer in love with his trade than Danny Blanchflower. An elegant and inspirational midfield force, he captained the Spurs 1961 Double-winning side and led Northern Ireland, against the odds, to the quarter-finals of the 1958 World Cup. Equally eloquent off the field, he was no stranger to controversy, writing about the game with a great clarity and passion, and working tirelessly as an innovator, forever trying to transform football as a spectacle for player and fan alike. Drawing on extensive interviews with family, friends and colleagues (including Jackie Blanchflower, Sir Stanley Matthews, Johnny Haynes, Geoff Hurst, Pat Jennings and Derek Dougan), Dave Bowler skilfully recounts the story of one of football's greatest thinkers and iconoclasts.
Download or read book The Sounds of Spectators at Football written by Nicolai Jørgensgaard Graakjær and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sounds of spectators at football (soccer) are often highlighted – by spectators, tourists, commentators, journalists, scholars, media producers, etc. – as crucial for the experience of football. These sounds are often said to contribute significantly to the production (at the stadium) and conveyance (in televised broadcast) of 'atmosphere.' This book addresses why and how spectator sounds contribute to the experience of watching in these environments and what characterizes spectator sounds in terms of their structure, distribution and significance. Based on an examination of empirical materials – including the sounds of football matches from the English Premier League as they emerge both at the stadium and in the televised broadcast – this book systematically dissects the sounds of football watching.
Download or read book Winning Isn t Everything written by Dave Bowler and published by Orion. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of world cup winning football manager Sir Alf Ramsey England has never had a more successful national coach than Sir Alf Ramsey. A cultured full-back with Tottenham's push and run stylists, he turned to management once his international career had been cut short by Puskas' rampant Hungarians. At Ipswich Town he piloted a collection of comparative journeymen from the depths of the Third Division South to the heights of the League Championship, acquiring the job of England manager along the way. Fêted for winning the 1966 World Cup, castigated for the way he won it with his 'wingless wonders', then reviled for going out of the 1974 competition, Ramsey's achievements are lost in the legends of Russian linesmen, Bogotá and a Polish clown. Yet he was a commanding general, a footballing intellect beyond compare and a man who deserves more than caricature. Thoughtful and incisive, Dave Bowler's biography features extensive interviews with Geoff Hurst, Walter Winterbottom, Mick Channon, Tom Finney, Ray Wilson and Jimmy Armfield, among others, and reassesses Ramsey's contribution to the English game.
Download or read book The Twisting Lane written by Tony Parker and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few crimes provoke such outrage and upset as the sex offence, making the subject - including the problems it poses to our society and criminal justice system - a natural one for sociologist Tony Parker, whose work consistently shed light into dark corners of human behaviour. The Twisting Lane, first published in 1969, presents the testimonies of eight men aged between 20 and 70 who had been convicted - most of them repeatedly - for eight different types of offence, from assault or rape of adults or minors, to indecent exposure and 'living on immoral earnings'. Each man offers, in his own words, his personal story and self-perception. 'A remarkable achievement... almost every paragraph is poignant and revealing.' New Statesman

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 Football s Better with Fans written by Antony Rickson and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Football stadiums are supposed to be packed with cheering fans. It was that way for more than 100 years until the coronavirus pandemic changed all our lives. Football managed to struggle on at some levels but without crowds - just cardboard cut-outs and fake noise instead. There was even a half measure for a while with a couple of thousand spectators allowed in. A banner at Old Trafford read, 'Football is nothing without fans', but what we discovered is that it isn't nothing, it's just better with fans there. Filled with fascinating stories, anecdotes, opinions and social media comments, Football's Better with Fans explores what it means to be a supporter. It's a light-hearted and highly dippable look at the lives of loyal fans, the fun and games they've enjoyed, their songs, banter, commitment, tattoos and traditions. The book doesn't shy away from tragedies, hooliganism or racism, but mainly it's a joyful celebration of football fandom and how we all survived when we couldn't go to games.
