His performances made his a serious contender for the Ballon d'Or, an award long-dominated by the unfaltering Messi and Ronaldo. It now seems only a matter of time before he adds the accolade to his ever-growing trophy collection.
  
  Fully updated and drawing on exclusive interviews with those who have known and worked with him, Neymar paints a compelling picture of the life and career of a global icon.

  Ian Darler has won just about every award the green-keeping industry has to offer, managed his stadium through tempestuous and terrific times and dealt with as many life-and-death situations as some paramedics. Now, as head groundsman and stadium manager at Cambridge United's Abbey Stadium for 40 years, he tells the story of a life that has seen him rub shoulders with some of the greatest and funniest characters in football, turn out the kind of surfaces players dream of, cross swords with the occasional manager and cope with catastrophes that would have floored a lesser mortal. Lauded by his peers in the turf management business as one of its most able and dedicated practitioners, Ian has tales to tell about personalities from every echelon of the game. A natural storyteller, he remembers every disaster, every triumph, every tragedy and every side-splitting practical joke.

  We've probably all heard someone say that golf is 90% mental and only 10% physical. This book's series of real life experiences clearly highlights why there's much truth in that statement. The winners' stories presented here demonstrate that whatever their circumstances, mentally strong players are able to produce positive outcomes, often against all odds. The authors have successfully sought out first-hand evidence from professional and elite amateur players, with the resulting dialogues encapsulating all that is good in preparation. They then elaborate and reflect on those attitudes that form the bedrock of mental toughness. The good news is there's absolutely no reason why any golfer - whatever their standard - cannot benefit from the insights unearthed in this book. The stories provide potent evidence of the power of the mind. The authors are all passionate about improving the performance of every golfer. Through their interviews they have uncovered the critical psychological factors that make winners - factors accessible to all players. These fascinating stories, relayed through the players' own words, represent a refreshing way to guide, inform and expand our mental approaches to performance. Players whose stories are featured include Nick Faldo, Justin Rose, Colin Montgomerie, Jamie Spence and many more.

  The best of Irish Soccer. The kickstart the country needed. The men, the excitement, the places, the stories, the goals and above all, the journey.
  They were the best days of our lives. This is how so many of the Irish remember Italia 90 and all that came with it – the atmosphere of wild celebration, the scenes of chaos, the fine madness.
  Declan Lynch recalls the great moments – Packie's save and his leap into immortality; Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma and U2's Put 'Em Under Pressure; Kevin Sheedy's sweet strike; and all that drinking.
  Days of Heaven is full of hilarious accounts of how the Irish abandoned reality in that glorious time called Italia 90.
