Sinopsis

From Socrates to Arthur Montford, via Bovril, Buckfast and, of course, pies, this is a unique journey through the extraordinary world of Scottish football.
Packed with anecdotes and observations, Andy Bollen wallows in a nostalgic haze, a time of hatchet-men with moustaches, a magic sponge that should have been granted miracle status and big-money strikers who couldn't hit a cow's posterior with a banjo.
Opinionated, forthright and funny, Bollen reluctantly concedes that tattoos, hair weaves and VAR are now part of the game. This idiosyncratic ride through the wonderful absurdity of Scottish football will chime with every fan. 
Disponible desde: 10/10/2019.

    The South Yorkshire football club’s legendary journey to victory at the 1912 FA Cup Final is recounted in this illustrated history. In Lifting the Cup, Mark Metcalf and David Wood tell the story of Barnsley Football Club’s most illustrious period. Between 1910 and 1912 ‘Battling Barnsley’ won their way to the FA Cup Final on two separate occasions. They capped things off by beating West Bromwich Albion in the 1912 final replay at Bramall Lane, Sheffield. Barnsley manager Arthur Fairclough ‘lifted the Cup’ for the only time, so far, in the Club’s long history. This volume brings the 1910-12 era to life through match reports, memorabilia, and a wealth of dramatic photographs—some of which have never before been published. With a tribute to the extraordinary support of Barnsley fans, it also examines the careers of legendary players such as Dickie Downs, Bob Glendenning, Wilf Bartrop, Tommy Boyle, George Utley, George Lillycrop—and of course the goal-scoring hero of 1912: the great Harry Tufnell.

    Developing Wicket Keepers

    Wicket Keeping is an art and, like any art there is a requirement to spend quality time practising this craft to make the outcome(s) consistent. The lack of time that is allowed for wicket keeping specific coaching in coach education programmes is reflected by the small amount of time that is spent coaching young keepers in junior club sessions. Generally this is not the fault of coaches but highlights the lack of opportunity they are given to develop an understanding about this specialised position. The aim of this book is to give coaches (at club and county age group level) a guide as how to set up and organise basic wicket keeping drills and activities. This resource is not designed to create more work but to be used as a 'quick and easy' way to help young wicket keepers develop their games further.

    As a Tibetan lama and leader of Shambhala (an international community of 165 meditation centers), Sakyong Mipham has found physical activity to be essential for spiritual well-being. He's been trained in horsemanship and martial arts but has a special love for running. Here he incorporates his spiritual practice with running, presenting basic meditation instruction and fundamental principles he has developed. Even though both activities can be complicated, the lessons here are simple and designed to show how the melding of internal practice with physical movement can be used by anyone-regardless of age, spiritual background, or ability-to benefit body and mind.

    “Diligent, detailed, and overpowering. This is not a book of conjecture: It’s one of bootstrap journalism.” 
     —New York magazine 
      
    The New York Times calls sports journalist Selena Roberts’s blistering biography, A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez, “Important…devastating…merciless.” A columnist for Sports Illustrated, Roberts pulls no punches in her tough and brilliant New York Times bestseller, an exploration of the multi-million-dollar Yankees slugger’s checkered life and career. A-Rod is an eye-opening, unputdownable look at one of the greatest—and most flawed—players in today’s game.
