Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on cultural theory and interviews with fans, cast members and producers, this book places the reality TV trend within a broader social context, tracing its relationship to the development of a digitally enhanced, surveillance-based interactive economy and to a savvy mistrust of mediated reality in general. Surveying several successful reality TV formats, the book links the rehabilitation of 'Big Brother' to the increasingly important economic role played by the work of being watched. The author enlists critical social theory to examine how the appeal of 'the real' is deployed as a pervasive but false promise of democratization.

Download or read book Tommy Lawton written by Jack Rollin and published by Pitch Publishing. This book was released on 2025-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a stellar 20-year career punctuated by the Second World War, such was Tommy Lawton's prowess in front of goal he was a magnet for spectators at a host of top-level clubs. Prior to the war, he served Burnley and Everton with distinction; enlisted to the British army for the war effort, he guested for a host of clubs. After VE Day he maintained his career average of more than one goal every other game - with Everton, Chelsea, Notts County, Brentford, as player manager, and Arsenal; before another spell as player boss at Kettering. In 46 England games either side of the war and including wartime fixtures, he plundered 46 goals. Those impressive stats would surely be even more so but for the war. Deadly in the air or with either foot, and renowned for his sportsmanship - he was never booked throughout his career - Head and Shoulders Above the Rest is an ode to a swashbuckling centre-forward and the man Stanley Matthews described as: 'Quite simply, the greatest header of the ball I ever saw.'

Nothing particularly special in that necessarily, except that Jimmy's goal came in the last minute of the last match - and he was a goalkeeper But who would you choose? Billy Rafferty, David Reeves, Tommy Craig, Malcolm Poskett, John Halpin, or Kenny Wilson?

Mark Harrison's book, Carlisle's Cult Heroes, tells the story of the club through the careers of its 20 greatest icons - the incredibly entertaining and personality-packed players, who have lit up the club's history. During his journey through a pantheon of Carlisle greats, he discovers what made each Cult Hero tick, why he was so idolised by the fans and unearths bundles of new stories, through research and new interviews with fans and players such as Shankly, Stokoe, Craig, Mountfield, Poskett, Reeves and Glass. Find out which United legend was dragged out of a betting shop to play, which centre-forward's moustache was gleefully copied by United fans, which goalkeeper regularly read newspapers during a game, and which striker whispered oaths under his breath to his opponents to put them off and which earned cult status because he couldn't score a goal Above all, discover what it is about 20 mere mortals that has brought them mythical status in Cumbria.
Download or read book Made in Africa written by Ed Aarons and published by Arena Sport. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The signing of Naby Keïta for almost £53m in August 2017 was the third time in the space of 14 months that Liverpool broke the transfer record for an African player. But while Senegal’s Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah of Egypt helped Jürgen Klopp’s side reach the Champions League final in 2018, Guinea midfielder Keïta took time to adapt to his new surroundings. Tracking his first season in English football and featuring interviews with Klopp and those closest to Liverpool’s three biggest African stars, Ed Aarons tells the story of the thrilling 2018/19 campaign that ended with the club’s sixth European crown after just missing out to Manchester City in the thrilling Premier League title race. Yet the historic season which saw Mané and Salah share the Premier League’s Golden Boot with Arsenal’s Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would not have been possible had it not been for those who blazed the trail before them. From Arthur Wharton - the first player born in Africa to appear in the Football League - to Steve Mokone, Albert Johanneson, Brian and Mark Stein, Peter Ndlovu, Christopher Wreh, Lucas Radebe, Jay Jay Okocha, Didier Drogba, Yaya Touré and Riyad Mahrez, Made in Africa tells the story of the pioneers who changed the face of English football forever.
