  Set against a backdrop of economic recession, rampant hooliganism and suspect fashion, Go To War tells the story of how triumph and tragedy shaped English football during the 1980s. It was a decade in which some fans died watching the game they loved, and at times, the 'slum sport' seemed set to implode. Yet, remarkably, the game was on the cusp of morphing into the behemoth it has become today.
  Throughout this explosive book, author Jon Spurling delves into the stories behind the successes and strife at clubs including Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal, investigates the trials and tribulations of the England team and explores how 'small-town boys' from Luton, Watford and Wimbledon made their mark. The decade also heralded the arrival of artificial pitches and fanzines, and Spurling introduces us to the new breed of high-profile executives, like Irving Scholar and Martin Edwards, who soon got busy changing the face of football.
  Thirty years in the making, Go To War draws heavily on interviews conducted with '80s icons including Terry Butcher, Graeme Sharp and Ray Wilkins, managerial legends like Howard Kendall and Bobby Robson and FA Cup heroes Ricky Villa and Norman Whiteside. Like its precursor, the bestselling Get It On: How the '70s Rocked Football, Go To War provides a unique insight into a pivotal footballing decade.

  Gymnastics is a sport that combines strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. It has been a part of human culture for centuries, evolving from ancient Greek practices to the dynamic, highly specialized sport we know today. This chapter serves as an introduction to gymnastics, exploring its history, the different types of gymnastics, and the benefits it offers both physically and mentally. 
  The origins of gymnastics date back to ancient Greece, where it was practiced as a form of physical education and training for soldiers. It later evolved into a competitive sport with the introduction of modern gymnastics in the late 19th century. The sport gained widespread popularity, especially with the inclusion of gymnastics in the Olympic Games. Today, gymnastics includes disciplines such as artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline gymnastics, each with its own unique set of skills and techniques. Artistic gymnastics is the most well-known, featuring apparatus such as the floor, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. Rhythmic gymnastics involves performing routines with props like ribbons and hoops, while trampoline gymnastics focuses on acrobatics performed on a trampoline. 
  Gymnastics is not only a sport of athleticism but also one that nurtures mental strength and discipline. It requires a high level of concentration, focus, and determination, which are essential in both training and competition. The process of learning gymnastics helps build resilience, as athletes often face challenges and setbacks before mastering a skill. The sport teaches the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, all while providing a platform for self-expression through movement.

  When a career-ending injury saw former Ireland and Millwall striker Richie Sadlier retire from football at age 24, his life spiralled out of control.
  Without structure or a sense of purpose, and fuelled by a dependency on alcohol, he spent years running from the dark memories and feelings that had haunted him since childhood. Until one day he hit rock bottom and decided to confront his demons.
  Recovering written with Dion Fanning is about a life shaped by efforts to escape, and how it is possible to rebuild that life, piece by piece, with the right help.
  Inspiring and ground-breaking, it is an important reflection on the need to move away from perceptions of shame in our discussions about mental health, sex, relationships and addiction.
