Synopsis

1974 whisks you back half a century to discover the major matches, stories and controversies that lit up football in that momentous year.
 
From the author of 1923: Life in Football One Hundred Years Ago and 1953: Life in Football Seventy Years Ago.
 
Britain in 1974 was a land of strikes, electricity cuts, a three-day working week and the country’s first official recession for 50 years. Floodlit football matches were banned, Sunday football was established and attendances fell as cash-strapped fans couldn’t afford to watch live games.
 
This compelling book includes:
A chilling exploration of how football hooliganism began to spiral out of control and how the sport was shamed by the first murder on the terracesThe full story behind Brian Clough’s nightmare 44-day reign at Leeds United and its rancorous toxic fall-outThe sad tale of Bill Shankly’s retirement as Liverpool manager and how it all ended in tears and recriminationAnalysis of Manchester United’s nightmare season and their first relegation from the top flight for more than 30 yearsHow the FA finally ended the shameful 50-year ‘ban’ on women’s footballA revolution in amateur football as paid players are allowed, the league pyramid is totally reorganised and the national England amateur team disbandedThe story of how Leeds United and Umbro pioneered the multi-billion-pound replica kit industry and helped usher sponsorship into football 
Read about all this and much more in this fascinating and exhaustively researched study of a special footballing year.

    When Emily Halnon lost her beloved mother to a rare uterine cancer at just sixty-six years old, she wanted to do something monumental to honor the person her mother had been. Emily's mom had taken up running in her late forties; she ran her first marathon at fifty. She even went skydiving to celebrate her sixtieth birthday. 
     
     
     
    Emily, already an accomplished ultrarunner, decided to try to break the record for the Fastest Known Time by a woman on the Pacific Crest Trail's 460 miles across Oregon. 
     
     
     
    To the Gorge takes the listener through her seven days, nineteen hours, and twenty-three minutes on the trail, covering nearly sixty miles a day on foot over rugged terrain, and battling all the issues that could arise during such a monstrous undertaking. All the while, she simultaneously struggles with how to get through the profound grief of losing her mom. 
     
     
     
    Interwoven with Halnon's eight-day effort are her remembrances from her mother's life and death, exploring the complicated experience of grief—and what shines through it. 
     
     
     
    Filled with adventure and heart, To the Gorge invites listeners to consider what our greatest losses can teach us about how to live the one life we get.

    "Now after fifty years, it's time for Canada to stand up and cheer. Stand up and cheer everybody! The Olympics Salt Lake City, 2002, men's ice hockey gold medal: Canada!" —Bob Cole, CBC play-by-play broadcaster 
     
     
     
    There was no iconic Paul Henderson moment, nor a Sidney Crosby golden goal, but Canada's 5-2 victory against the rival United States in the men's 2002 Olympic gold medal game wiped out fifty years of frustration for the nation that invented ice hockey. 
     
     
     
    Canadians from coast to coast were whipped into a frenzy, with impromptu celebrations on streets like Granville in Vancouver, Yonge in Toronto, Ste-Catherine in Montreal, and Portage and Main in Winnipeg. 
     
     
     
    Gold is the definitive chronicle of how the men of Team Canada made history. Marking twenty years since the momentous victory, Tim Wharnsby delivers the inside story of how Gretzky built the team and Pat Quinn got them to the gold medal, featuring exclusive interviews with players, coaches, and personnel.

    Art Shamsky, 1969 New York Met and noted author, shares with listeners stories and anecdotes from his fifty-year association with the New York Mets. Through stories of varying lengths, listeners will be privy to behind-the-scenes and first-hand accounts of the New York Mets from lovable losers to impossible winners in 1969, and beyond, including stories about today's players. We witness the leadership of Tom Seaver, the steady hand of manager Gil Hodges, what it was like to share right field with charismatic Ron Swoboda, what it was like to grace a magazine cover with 1960s supermodel Lauren Hutton, in addition to a wealth of stories about the Mets, the organization, and its star players over the past half century.
