Sinossi

The scoring of a goal in football unleashes emotions for the scorer, teammates, opponents and onlookers on terracing and living-room couches, that can play havoc with our anticipation of what constitutes an ordinary day.  
Legendary commentator Archie Macpherson delves into the heart of the beautiful game, where the simple act of scoring a goal becomes a profound moment of human connection. From the roar of victory to the sting of defeat, Macpherson captures the essence of football's emotional rollercoaster through a curated personal selection of significant goals – some spectacular, some less-so, some not-at-all, but all significant – together with the fascinating backstory to each goal and the match in which it was scored.
With unparalleled insight and passion, Macpherson invites readers to experience the highs and lows of football, a game where so often a goal transcends the boundaries of the pitch to touch the hearts of fans worldwide. 
It's a Goal! is a testament to the enduring power of football to unite, inspire and move us all – whoever our team, wherever we are.

    The Captaincy - Leading...

    What makes a true leader? Is it a title — or the courage to change what isn’t right? 
    In The Captaincy, Mark Francis draws on forty years in elite women’s rugby and global leadership consultancy to reveal the real foundations of modern leadership. Through over 60 Captain stories — from world-class athletes, pioneering women, and bold change-makers — Francis shows that leadership isn’t a job title. It’s an ethos. A choice. An intention. 
    Central to the book is Sporting Intelligence (SpQ), a powerful model built on four essential leadership traits: 
    Positive Intention, Self-Command, Thin-Slicing, and Tribal Fire. 
    Together, they sharpen decision-making, build confidence, ignite team spirit, and help leaders act courageously when the path isn’t clear. 
    From the training grounds of women’s rugby to Olympic arenas, global boardrooms, heart-surgery theatres, entrepreneurial start-ups and community projects, The Captaincy uncovers how great leaders think, choose, communicate and inspire — especially when the pressure is highest. 
    You’ll discover: 
    • Why the world urgently needs more female leaders 
    • How everyday people become Champions of change 
    • How to overcome self-doubt and lead with clarity 
    • How to build communities, tribes and movements 
    • Practical tools to influence, decide and take action 
    • Real stories of courage, inclusion, resilience and impact 
    Whether you’re leading a team, shaping a project, launching an idea, or searching for direction, this book will equip you to act with intention, confidence and purpose. 
    The Captaincy is your call to step up — to lead with vision and heart, on and off the field. 
    The Captaincy is a call to embrace these lessons, step forward with courage, and carry the spirit of captaincy into every arena of life. 
    Open these pages and discover how you, too, can step into your own captaincy – and lead with impact, on and off the field.

    The first autobiography from legendary Welsh rugby player George North 
    George North is a true legend of Welsh rugby, an integral part of the national team for fourteen years. 
    Recently retired from the international game, he is the third-most-capped player in Welsh history with 121 Test appearances, the youngest player ever to reach 100 caps, and the second-highest try scorer with 47. 
    At club level, he has played for the Scarlets, Northampton and Ospreys, and latterly Provence in France. 
    North is open, charismatic, thoughtful but hugely competitive, and this is the first time he has reflected on his extraordinary career. Co-written with the brilliant sportswriter Tom Fordyce, this autobiography is an utterly compelling and enthralling retrospective, taking in George’s life growing up in Anglesey on the North Welsh coast, before he burst onto the scene when he became the youngest player ever to score a try on his debut aged just 18. 
    Full of heart and passion, George’s story is a uniquely inspirational insight into the art, mastery and sheer force of the game of rugby. 
    This top memoir, available for pre-order, is a cultural and regional exploration of North's life and career. It's the latest and best in non-fiction, offering a deep dive into the world of rugby.

    “Takes an inside look into the wave of player departures that has rocked the game both in Cuba and the U.S., while providing historical perspective.” —USA Today   The stellar play and fascinating backstories of exiled Cuban sluggers and hurlers has become part of Major League Baseball history. On-field exploits by colorful Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig, AL rookie-of-the-year José Abreu, home run derby champion Yoenis Céspedes, radar-gun busting Cincinnati fast-baller Aroldis Chapman, and a handful of others have been further enhanced by feel-good tales of desperate Cuban superstars risking their lives to escape Fidel Castro’s communist realm and chase an American Dream of financial and athletic success. But a truly ugly underbelly to this story has also slowly emerged—one that involves human smuggling operations financed by Miami crime syndicates, operated by Mexican drug cartels, and conveniently ignored by ball clubs endlessly searching for fresh waves of international talent.   Given rare access to Cuba and its ballplayers, Peter C. Bjarkman has spent over twenty years traveling to all corners of the island getting to know the top Cuban stars and witnessing their struggles and triumphs. In this book, Bjarkman places events in the context of Cuban baseball history and tradition before delving into the stories of the major Cuban stars who have left the island. He reveals their personal histories, explains the events that led them to defect from their homeland, and details their harrowing journeys to US shores. Players whose big-league dreams failed are also discussed, as are Cuba’s efforts to stem the defection tide through working agreements with the Japanese and Mexican leagues. Cuba’s Baseball Defectors will fascinate baseball fans, those interested in the history of US-Cuba relations, and those wanting to learn more about the unsavory story of human trafficking in the name of baseball glory.   “A revelation . . . an original social history for sports enthusiasts and readers interested in past and future Cuba–U.S. ties.” —Library Journal Includes photos
