Download or read book York City Football Club written by David Batters and published by Tempus Pub Limited. This book was released on 2000 with total page 128 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated exploration of the design, meaning and symbolism of world football club crests.

Covering more than 200 clubs from 20 different leagues, World Football Club Crests explores the design, meaning and symbolism of the game's most famous club crests to reveal why the badges look as they do. This carefully curated collection charts the continuing evolution of the designs and describes the changing styles, varied influences and remarkable controversies that have shaped football's most iconic crests. These important symbols of football heraldry will never be viewed in the same way again.

Download or read book What We Think About When We Think About Soccer written by Simon Critchley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 226 pages. 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. But what is it about soccer that makes it so compelling to watch, discuss, and think about? Is it what it says about class, race, or gender? Is it our national, regional, or tribal identities? 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. Critchley has made a career out of bringing philosophy to the people through popular subjects, and in What We Think About When We Think About Soccer he uses his considerable philosophical acumen to examine the sport that has captured the hearts and minds of millions.

Download or read book Richer Than God Manchester City Modern Football and Growing Up written by David Conn and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richer Than God is an authoritative, emotional, provocative account of Manchester City's takeover by Sheikh Mansour, culminating in their remarkable last minute Premier League title victory in May 2012. By placing the club's extraordinary current rise in the wider context of its patchy modern history, this is also the story of English football's transformation--from the battlegrounds of the 1980s to today's moneyed, seated, global entertainment. Conn is led to question the very nature of football clubs and being a supporter, the underlying values and running of what used to be called "the people's game." A labor of love, this powerfully told account of Manchester City's fall and rise, based on meticulous research over many years, and exclusive access and interviews with key figures, is written in the gripping, revelatory style Conn has made his trademark.

Book excerpt: *WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR* Fever Pitch is Nick Hornby's million-copy-selling, award-winnning football classic 'A spanking 7-0 away win of a football book. . . inventive, honest, funny, heroic, charming' Independent For many people watching football is mere entertainment, to some it's more like a ritual; but to others, its highs and lows provide a narrative to life itself. But, for Nick Hornby, his devotion to the game has provided one of few constants in a life where the meaningful things - like growing up, leaving home and forming relationships, both parental and romantic - have rarely been as simple or as uncomplicated as his love for Arsenal. Brimming with wit and honesty, Fever Pitch, catches perfectly what it really means to be a football fan - and in doing so, what it means to be a man. 'Hornby has put his finger on truths that have been unspoken for generations' Irish Times 'Funny, wise and true' Roddy Doyle

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. Their dislike encompasses the rest of the known universe, and England's soccer thugs express it in ways that range from mere vandalism to riots that terrorize entire cities. Now Bill Buford, editor of the prestigious journal Granta, enters this alternate society and records both its savageries and its sinister allure with the social imagination of a George Orwell and the raw personal engagement of a Hunter Thompson.

Download or read book America s Game written by Michael MacCambridge and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2008-11-26 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s difficult to imagine today—when the Super Bowl has virtually become a national holiday and the National Football League is the country’s dominant sports entity—but pro football was once a ramshackle afterthought on the margins of the American sports landscape. In the span of a single generation in postwar America, the game charted an extraordinary rise in popularity, becoming a smartly managed, keenly marketed sports entertainment colossus whose action is ideally suited to television and whose sensibilities perfectly fit the modern age. America’s Game traces pro football’s grand transformation, from the World War II years, when the NFL was fighting for its very existence, to the turbulent 1980s and 1990s, when labor disputes and off-field scandals shook the game to its core, and up to the sport’s present-day preeminence. A thoroughly entertaining account of the entire universe of professional football, from locker room to boardroom, from playing field to press box, this is an essential book for any fan of America’s favorite sport.

Excerpt: York City Football Club is an English football club based in York, North Yorkshire. The club participates in the Conference National, the fifth tier of English football. Founded in 1922, they joined the Football League in 1929, and have spent most of their history in the lower divisions. The club briefly rose as high as the second tier of English football, spending two seasons in the Second Division in the 1970s. At the end of the 2003-04 season the club lost their League status when they were relegated from the Third Division, and have since remained in the Conference. York have enjoyed more success in cup competitions than in the league, with highlights including an FA Cup semi-final appearance in 1955. In the 1995-96 League Cup, York beat Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford; Manchester United went on to win the FA Cup and FA Premier League double that season. Also, in the FA Cup, they beat Arsenal, as well as holding Liverpool to a draw on two occasions. York made an appearance at Wembley Stadium in 1993, when they defeated Crewe Alexandra in a play-off final. They reached the Final of the FA Trophy in 2009, but were defeated 2-0 by Stevenage Borough at the new Wembley Stadium. This was followed by a 3-1 defeat to Oxford United in the 2010 Conference National play-off Final. York play their home games at Bootham Crescent in...
