Sinopse

John Gorman's story is very much about a football man, but it is also much more than just that. After a lifetime in the game John thought he had seen and done it all. He had played, coached and managed at the top and experienced the harsh realities of survival at the lower end of the scale. There was little in professional football that he had not had to cope with. But on a cold February day in 2006 as he gazed lovingly into the weary eyes of his dying wife, Myra, he knew trying to maintain his ability to think clearly as a manager would be impossible. Football had always meant so much to him, but love for his wife meant so much more.

    John Arezzi was a lifelong Mets fan who dreamed of a job in baseball. In 1981, he took a job with the Mets Class A team in North Carolina. But Arezzi had another love: professional wrestling. He ran a fan club for the villainous "Classy" Freddie Blassie as a teenager, then progressed to wrestling photographer, and finally even stepped into the ring himself as John Anthony. Eventually he escaped to pursue a new life in altogether different world: country music. After adopting a new name, John Alexander, his many accomplishments include discovering both Patty Loveless and (decades later) Kelsea Ballerini. But wrestling is tough to shake . . .In the 1990s, Arezzi hosted the pioneering radio talk show Pro Wrestling Spotlight. He also ran the first major conventions, assembling a wrestling who's who to meet with fans. He promoted shows, both at home and abroad, and was a key figure behind importing lucha libre into America.Mat Memories is Arezzi's chance to hold the mic, and he holds nothing back—he names names and tells the untold behind-the-scenes stories: from the ring, the stage, and the diamond.

    On December 11, 1981, Muhammad Ali slumped on a chair in the cramped, windowless locker room of a municipal baseball field outside Nassau. A phalanx of sportswriters had pushed and shoved their way into this tiny, breeze-blocked space. In this most unlikely of settings, they had come to record the last moments of the most storied of all boxing careers. They had come to intrude upon the grief."It's over," mumbled Ali. "It's over."The show that had entertained and wowed from Zaire to Dublin, from Hamburg to Manila, finally ended its twenty-one-year run, the last performance not so much off-Broadway, more amateur theater in the boondocks.In Drama in the Bahamas, Dave Hannigan tells the occasionally poignant, often troubling, yet always entertaining story behind Ali's last bout. Through interviews with many of those involved, he discovers exactly how and why, a few weeks short of his fortieth birthday, a seriously diminished Ali stepped through the ropes one more time to get beaten up by Trevor Berbick.

    How much do you really know about the club you love? You can find out by exploring the 1,000 questions set out in 100 categories that make up this Southampton Quiz Book. It's not often that books on football make reference to Frasier, Alfred Hitchcock, Ritz Crackers, Henry VIII, Stalin, The Sweeney and The Who but this one does!
    The Southampton Quiz Book is a quirky, challenging affair for real Saints fans who can test themselves or take each other on, with the emphasis on enjoyment and discovery.
    Try these for size:
    Take one 1990's Saints defender, add two letters to his name and produce another! Who are the two players?
    Which ground did Southampton win an FA Cup semi-final on in 1902 and lose one in 1986?
    Who is the only Saints manager to score the winning goal in a European Cup Final at Wembley?
    You will struggle to find anything as comprehensive as this eclectic collection. It's a must for Saints fans of all ages and you might not read anything quite like it again.
