  The South Yorkshire football club’s legendary journey to victory at the 1912 FA Cup Final is recounted in this illustrated history. In Lifting the Cup, Mark Metcalf and David Wood tell the story of Barnsley Football Club’s most illustrious period. Between 1910 and 1912 ‘Battling Barnsley’ won their way to the FA Cup Final on two separate occasions. They capped things off by beating West Bromwich Albion in the 1912 final replay at Bramall Lane, Sheffield. Barnsley manager Arthur Fairclough ‘lifted the Cup’ for the only time, so far, in the Club’s long history. This volume brings the 1910-12 era to life through match reports, memorabilia, and a wealth of dramatic photographs—some of which have never before been published. With a tribute to the extraordinary support of Barnsley fans, it also examines the careers of legendary players such as Dickie Downs, Bob Glendenning, Wilf Bartrop, Tommy Boyle, George Utley, George Lillycrop—and of course the goal-scoring hero of 1912: the great Harry Tufnell.

  'There's a difference between living and being alive.'Jim McGuinness inherited a wounded thing when he took over as manager of the Donegal senior football team in the summer of 2010. When he stepped down just over four years later, the same group of players had won three Ulster championships, the All-Ireland title of 2012 and succeeded in overturning a century-old perception of how Gaelic football should be played.His departure also marked the end of a personal odyssey, which had begun almost three decades earlier and weathered the aftermath of two family tragedies. Destined to become a classic, Until Victory Always is McGuinness's unforgettable and highly personal account of his years at the helm of the Donegal team.Confessional, moving, funny and fiercely honest, it's at once the epic story of one team's audacious bid to rewrite its destiny and one man's moving testament to the power of sport to sustain us in our darkest moments.

  NASCAR racing, once considered no more than a regional circuit of moonshiners pounding around low-country dirt tracks in a cloud of red dust and cliché, has somehow become America's fastest-growing spectator sport. With 75 million ardent fans, it is a sports entertainment empire built at the very crossroads of pop culture, corporate commerce, and American mythology -- a platinum-plated, V-8 hero machine.Smart, funny, and profane, Sunday Money is the kaleidoscopic account of a season on the NASCAR circuit. Driving 48,000 miles in a tiny motor home, Jeff MacGregor and his wife tracked the lives of superstar drivers like Junior Earnhardt and Tony Stewart, their crews, and their fans across the grinding reach of a 40-week season.More than just a behind-the-scenes chronicle of America's loudest pastime, Sunday Money is the story of a hundred stories, of red states and blue, of splendid Rebels and Yankee hotshoes. It is a brilliant snapshot of American culture -- of race, religion, class, sex, money, and fame -- taken from the window of a moving car.
