Summary

King Conte tells the sensational story of how Antonio Conte won the Premier League in his first season in charge of Chelsea Football Club replacing Jose Mourinho as the 'Special One' in the hearts of all Blues fans. After winning their first three games, Chelsea hit the buffers when they lost two games in a row in September against Liverpool and Arsenal. Master tactician Conte - who had won three consecutive Serie A titles as manager of Juventus - decided to change the formation from a flat back four to a five-man defence. Using Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso as wing-backs, the team became much more stable and were able counter attack at speed with Eden Hazard and Pedro so dangerous on the flanks and Diego Costa back to his belligerent best up front. Chelsea went on a 13-match winning streak and clinched the title with two games to spare ending the season with a record 30 wins. The mainstay of Conte's team was the tough-tackling midfield dynamo N'Golo Kante who became the first player to win the Premier League with two different clubs in consecutive seasons and was deservedly named PFA Player of The Year as well as winning the club's Players' Player Award. Conte in describing his historic season said : " Every single player performed at 120 or 130 per cent in every game. This season has been a great one for us, to win the league with 30 victories, and reach the final of the FA Cup is incredible. We must be proud." Recalling how Conte masterminded one of the greatest seasons in Chelsea's history is legendary soccer scribe Harry Harris who has written more than 75 best-selling football books.

    The Brazilian football team is believed to have played its first official match in 1914 against English club side Exeter City, which they won 2-0. Their first full international was against Argentina the same year. Since then they have become the most successful international football team in history. 'The English invented it, the Brazilians perfected it' is a phrase often heard in Brazil and the side has backed this up by winning the FIFA World Cup a record five times.

    "TOE EK IN MY EERSTE WÊRELDBEKERWEDSTRYD UITDRAF, WAS DAAR IETS SOOS 54 000 MENSE. JY SIEN NET KAMERAFLITSE, DIS AMPER HIPNOTIES . . . DIE COACH SKREE VIR MY: 'CHUCKY, WAARMEE IS JY BESIG?' TOE BESEF EK EK IS BESIG OM VIR DIE MENSE TE WAAI." – LOUIS 'CHUCKY' VAN DER WESTHUIZEN
    Het jy al ooit gewonder hoe 50 000 ekstatiese ondersteuners op die paviljoen klink of wat dit beteken om 'n Springbokbaadjie in jou kas te hê?
    In die aanloop tot die Rugbywêreldbeker het die joernalis Hendrik Hancke die land deurkruis om met oud-Springbokke, provinsiale spelers, breiers en 'n rugbyskrywer te gesels oor hul liefde vir rugby. Hulle deel persoonlike oorwinnings en teleurstellings, die lesse wat rugby hulle al geleer het, spesiale kleedkamer-oomblikke en stories oor wat van die veld af gebeur.
    Schalk Brits verduidelik byvoorbeeld waarom dit so noodsaaklik is vir 'n Springbok om 'n spanspeler te wees, terwyl Gcobani Bobo aangrypend vertel van sy reis met rugby van King Williamstown tot Nieu-Seeland. Frik du Preez lig weer die sluier oor hoe dit was om in die 1960's te toer en die kattekwaad wat hulle aangevang het, terwyl Jean de Villiers deel wat dit beteken om Springbokkaptein te wees.
    As jy Saterdagmiddae kliphard vir die televisie skree, of op die sypaadjie sal slaap om 'n kaartjie vir 'n groot wedstryd te kry, dan is dié boek vir jou.

    From beanballs to basebrawls, the most important rules governing the game of baseball have never been officially written down—until now.They have no sanction from the Commissioner, appear nowhere in any official publication, and are generally not posted on any clubhouse wall. They represent a set of time-honored customs, rituals, and good manners that show a respect for the game, one's teammates, and one's opponents. Sometimes they contradict the official rulebook. The fans generally only hear about them when one is bent or broken, and it becomes news for a few days. Now, for the first time ever, Paul Dickson has put these unwritten rules down on paper, covering every situation, whether on the field or in the clubhouse, press box, or stands. Along with entertaining baseball axioms, quotations, and rules of thumb, this essential volume contains the collected wisdom of dozens of players, managers, and reporters on the secret rules that you break at your own risk, such as:1.7.1. In a Fight, Everyone Must Leave the Bench and the Bullpen Has to Join In1.13.3. In a Blowout Game, Never Swing as Hard as You Can at a 3-0 Pitch5.1.0. In Areas That Have Two Baseball Teams, Any Given Fan Can Only Really Root For One of Them
