  Hail Mary - The Rise and Fall of...

  In 1967, a Cleveland businessman had a brilliant idea: why not start a women's football team? It was conceived as a gimmick and a publicity stunt in the vein of the Harlem Globetrotters. He recruited women to compete as a traveling football troupe; much to his surprise, he learned that women really wanted to play—and play hard. Hail Mary is the story of the unlikely rise of the National Women's Football League and the players who loved a game that society told them they shouldn't be playing. In nineteen cities around the country, against the backdrop of second-wave feminism and the passage of Title IX, these athletes broke new barriers and showed adoring crowds what women were capable of physically. Thousands of people came to watch—perhaps to gawk at first but then, in the end, to cheer. Hail Mary is a rollicking chronicle of fearless women-players on the Detroit Demons, the Toledo Troopers, the LA Dandelions, and more—bringing us into the stadiums where they broke records, the small-town lesbian bars where they were recruited, and the backrooms where the league was conceived, and where it ended. Hail Mary is a celebration of women athletes and their fight on and off the field—and a powerful story of the league that changed their lives and the course of women's sports.

  "A searingly honest account … Nedum tells it like he played, with nothing left out." – Guy Mowbray, Match of the Day
  "A frank, thought-provoking and compelling insight into one of football's most articulate voices." – Rory Smith, New York Times chief soccer correspondent
  "Nedum Onuoha's autobiography is considerably more compelling than most of those by more decorated players." – When Saturday Comes
  ***
  Nedum Onuoha was not a typical footballer. Picked by the Manchester City Academy aged ten, he was determined to continue his education despite the lure of a career under the floodlights. Fiercely intelligent on and off the pitch, Onuoha developed into a talented defender and played his part in City's meteoric rise.
  In this characteristically forthright book, Onuoha reveals what goes on behind the scenes at top-tier clubs. Stuffed with insights into household names like Stuart Pearce, Sven-Göran Eriksson, Roberto Mancini and Harry Redknapp, this is football and its most famous figures as you've never seen them before.
  Kicking Back is also the story of one man's search for identity: as a footballer, as a black man in England and as an outsider in the US during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. What is it like to receive horrific racist abuse while doing your job? And how has football failed the black community? Onuoha provides a damning assessment of the sport's authorities as he dives deep into a life spent on the pitch.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In the heart of the twentieth century, when America wrestled with racial injustice and foreign wars, a legend was born who would shake the world—not merely with his fists, but with his unwavering conscience. 
  This is the extraordinary journey of Muhammad Ali. 
  From Cassius Clay, a young boy in Kentucky whose stolen bicycle became the catalyst for greatness, to Muhammad Ali, the three-time heavyweight champion who stood against the most powerful government on earth. This audiobook chronicles the rise of a man who transformed boxing from simple sport into a theater of social revolution. 
  Witness the making of "The Greatest"—his Olympic triumph, the shocking upset of Sonny Liston, his conversion to Islam, and his principled stand against the Vietnam War that cost him the prime years of his career. Experience the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" against George Foreman, where Ali crafted the immortal "rope-a-dope" strategy that stunned the world. 
  But this is more than a sports biography. It's the story of a poet-warrior who declared "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" and lived those words both in the ring and in life. A man who proved that true courage isn't measured by victories, but by standing firm on principle when everything is at stake. 
  Muhammad Ali didn't just fight opponents—he fought injustice, racism, and war itself. 
  Through intimate details never before told, discover how a young man afraid of flying became the most fearless voice of his generation. How he transformed pain into purpose, anger into justice, and became a symbol of human dignity that transcends sport, race, and time. 
  This is the definitive story of Muhammad Ali... The Greatest forever.

  Join Mick Hubert, Voice of the Gators, as he relives, through radio high-lights, the 1993-94 Gator football and basketball seasons – a year which saw the University of Florida climb to the top of collegiate athletic programs. Capturing a second consecutive SEC Eastern Division title, the Florida Gators avenged a loss to Alabama the year before by beating the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game and earning a berth in the Sugar Bowl. Along the way, the Gator scored more points, totaled more yards and passed for more touchdowns than any team in conference history. Against undefeated West Virginia, the Gators rolled to a 41-7 Sugar Bowl win, for a school-record eleventh victory and a #5 ranking in the final AP poll. The Florida basketball team began the 1993-94 season largely unheralded, but shocking critics and fans alike, marched to victory after victory leaving in their wake major powers Kentucky, Texas and Oklahoma State. On their way to a school-record 29 victories, the Gators become SEC Eastern Divisions CO-Champions, SEC Tournament Runner-ups and ranked #14 in the final AP poll. Seeded a #3 in the NCAA Tournament, Florida defeated James Madison and Pennsylvania, stunned UConn and rallied against Boston College to capture the East Regional Title. They had, in fact, “ Found A Way” to the final Four… It was A year To Remember!
