    Inshallah United: A story of...

    Nooruddean Choudry

    Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Awards 2023 
    Nooruddean Choudry was born in 1979 — the year Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose, Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the last Shah of Iran, and Tim Martin opened his first Wetherspoons. Also that year, a local football club lost the Cup Final to Arsenal courtesy of a man named Sunderland. That club would become an all-consuming obsession for young Nooruddean, who would one day become a small brown man and, vitally, also a Red. 
    Inshallah United is the story of the first British-born son of a Pakistani family living in England’s second city. And geography is important, because if it wasn't for his mum and dad settling in Manchester rather than anywhere else in the world, so much of what makes up Nooruddean's identity could have been so different. As it was, he grew up as a Muslim, Manchester United supporting, Morrissey-loving, Maggie-hating, working-class Manc. 
    Inshallah United is about growing up as a strictly halal Stretford Ender; a devout Muslim and diehard Red. It’s about praying five times a day that United would sign Alan Shearer and knock the Scousers off their perch. And it’s a deeply personal account of life as a Muslim Asian Mancunian kid in the late 80s and 90s, bookmarked by the most successful period in Manchester United's history. 
    Inshallah United, the latest memoir by Nooruddean Choudry, is a top-rated autobiography that offers a humorous and heartfelt exploration of his life as a devout Muslim and diehard Red. This biography is a must-read for those interested in the topic of cultural identity and recreation. 
    For fans of Chris Blackhurst (The World's Biggest Cash Machine), Wayne Barton (The Last Busby Babe), Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run), Andy Spinoza (Manchester unspun), and Rob Carless (Here, There & Everywhere).

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In the heart of the twentieth century, when America wrestled with racial injustice and foreign wars, a legend was born who would shake the world—not merely with his fists, but with his unwavering conscience. 
    This is the extraordinary journey of Muhammad Ali. 
    From Cassius Clay, a young boy in Kentucky whose stolen bicycle became the catalyst for greatness, to Muhammad Ali, the three-time heavyweight champion who stood against the most powerful government on earth. This audiobook chronicles the rise of a man who transformed boxing from simple sport into a theater of social revolution. 
    Witness the making of "The Greatest"—his Olympic triumph, the shocking upset of Sonny Liston, his conversion to Islam, and his principled stand against the Vietnam War that cost him the prime years of his career. Experience the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" against George Foreman, where Ali crafted the immortal "rope-a-dope" strategy that stunned the world. 
    But this is more than a sports biography. It's the story of a poet-warrior who declared "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" and lived those words both in the ring and in life. A man who proved that true courage isn't measured by victories, but by standing firm on principle when everything is at stake. 
    Muhammad Ali didn't just fight opponents—he fought injustice, racism, and war itself. 
    Through intimate details never before told, discover how a young man afraid of flying became the most fearless voice of his generation. How he transformed pain into purpose, anger into justice, and became a symbol of human dignity that transcends sport, race, and time. 
    This is the definitive story of Muhammad Ali... The Greatest forever.

    Blending cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, award-winning data journalist and competitive amateur athlete Henry Abbott reveals that we are on the cusp of a new era in sports medicine, built around the science of ballistic movements—leaping and landing—and the unique fingerprint of your body's physics. 
     
     
     
    Abbott's inspiring narrative tells the story of sports scientist Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project (P3), who use technology to study how athletes move and why they get hurt. Applying machine learning and lessons from biomechanics, medicine, and physiology, doctors at P3 can now detect elevated risk of an ACL tear or a pulled hamstring like an echocardiogram can see warning signs of a heart attack. 
     
     
     
    Through riveting stories of elite athletes overcoming injuries and pushing themselves to the limit, Abbott presents an evidence-based case for intervening early to protect our bodies. And he suggests that we can all harness the science of ballistic movement not just to run fast or jump high but to move with joy and lead fulfilling athletic lives.
