Sinopsis

Forgotten Sports Rules explores the captivating history of outdated and bizarre regulations in major sports, showcasing how these forgotten rules have shaped the games we know today. By examining the evolution of sports rules, the book reveals how sports adapt and change, reflecting societal values and gameplay strategies. For example, early football rules restricting the forward pass aimed to limit scoring, while early hockey regulations attempted to enhance player safety by limiting checking.

 
The book progresses by theme across chapters, first introducing the concept and significance of forgotten rules. It then explores rules designed to increase scoring, enhance player safety, and those reflecting societal values of the time. Forgotten Sports Rules is unique because, rather than focusing on star athletes, it examines the often-overlooked world of rule changes and their impact on the sports themselves. Drawing from rulebooks, newspaper articles, and player interviews, the book adopts a narrative tone, presenting information in an accessible and engaging way.

    This book is a reminder for those who have stood and suffered, sat, and celebrated, argued, fought and struggled as well as kept coming back, that supporting is more than just a game. I can assure you – it is much more important than that! DONALD C STEWART, Ayr United
    
    It doesn't matter where you are in the world or what stage you're at in life – you never forget when you first set eyes on your football club.
    Back o the Net! is an ode to the unwavering love that every football fan has for their club, comprising voices from many different walks of life. The devoted, the long suffering, the hometown fans, the ones who didn't grow up living in the same town as their team, the winners and the losers. All with the same underlying tie – they are dedicated and devoted to the very end.
    Whether it's in the back o our net or theirs, we'll always love our team.
    
    I'm a firm believer that supporting your local team, the team you've been brought up with, is very important, and I always will. I'm a season ticket holder, have been a shareholder and, like thousands of Fifers, the Raith Rovers result is the first one I look for every week. GORDON BROWN, FORMER P.M. (2007-2010), Raith Rovers
    
    You may change friends, you may change wife, but you never change football team. Always a Warrior. DAVID McVEY, Stenhousemuir
    
    We support our team, but we always remember the first time, the first place, the palace of the arts where we first watched them perform. GEORG MATHISEN, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy

    Brittains Ida or Venus and Anchises

    While hunting, the boy Anchises stumbles upon Venus's forest retreat and is so kindly entertained by the goddess that he becomes the proud father of Aeneas, the hero of Vergil's Aeneid.  The poem is an epyllion like Marlowe's "Hero and Leander" and Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis," a short erotic poem with a mythological subject.  The style is Spenserian, the stanzas rhyming ababbccc.  When Brittain's Ida was published in 1628, the publisher ascribed it to Edmund Spenser. However, in 1926 Ethel Seaton discovered and published Fletcher's original manuscript, whose opening stanzas make clear that this is the work of Fletcher, who entitled it "Venus and Anchises."  - Summary by T. A. Copeland

    A refreshing memoir of battles and self-belief from one of the NHL's most revered enforcers 
     
     
     
    Shawn Thornton was an unlikely NHL success, to say the least. The Oshawa, Ontario, native was picked late in the OHL and later thought he was being pranked when the Toronto Maple Leafs called him to say he'd been selected in the seventh round of the 1997 NHL draft. 
     
     
     
    After years spent working and maturing in the AHL, Thornton would go on to play fourteen seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, Boston Bruins, and Florida Panthers, winning two Stanley Cups along the way. 
     
     
     
    For the first time, in this candid memoir, Thornton opens up about his life in hockey and beyond, from his early days as an unrated prospect to the leadership lessons he learned in the minors, from the most difficult on-ice brawls to the ecstasy of reaching the sport's most celestial heights. 
     
     
     
    Fans will not want to miss this story of perseverance and finding one's own path.
