  ENTERTAINMENT SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 
  What Goes on Tour, Stays on Tour…Until Now! 
  As a cricketer, broadcaster and celebrity jungle-dweller, Phil Tufnell has travelled the world far and wide. From the great cricket tours of Australia and South Africa to his equally memorable jaunts to Benidorm and Blackpool, Phil has spent much of his life living out of a suitcase, meeting a host of colourful and memorable characters along the way. 
  The Tourist takes you out on the road, into the dressing room and behind the scenes of the commentary box to reveal just what really happens on Tour. Did Phil once push a baby grand piano down the stairs of a plush hotel? Did he accidentally eat a rat? Was he blamed for England being bowled out for 46 against the West Indies without even being in the team? 
  There’s only one way to find out… 
  It’s time to take a hilarious trip across the world with one of our most treasured sports personalities. 
  Phil Tufnell, a top sports personality and famous explorer, shares his rich and interesting life in this autobiography. As the Sunday Times bestselling author, his adventures and explorations are a special recreation of his life. 
  For fans of Shane Warne (Shane Warne's Century), Barry Johnston (The Wit of Cricket), Gideon Haigh (Ashes 2023), Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), and Ian Wright (A Life in Football).

  Hockey is a game where team rivalries are literally sealed with blood into the ice. No other major sport has fans going into the penalty box to fight the players or players going over the boards to fight the fans. Hockey has been known to see team mascots unwittingly cheat death during pre-game entertainment and players escape death mid-action. From benches lined with more coaches than players by game's end to lifetime-ban-inducing penalties worthy of assault charges, this international sport has seen the most bizarre - and often violent - action a broadcaster could only hope to describe. The Voices of Hockey boasts 65 NHL play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, sharing the game's most pinnacle moments of the past 60 plus years. From the Broad Street Bullies to the Bruise Brothers; the great one to the great eight; from flying octopi, catfish, and plastic rats to National Anthem interrupting shouts, these 65 storytellers encapsulate the greatest moments the only sport deserving of the nickname "the fastest game on earth” has to offer.  
  Kirk McKnight is a published American author specializing in sports journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting. He has written three books featuring over 130 play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, for both hockey and baseball. McKnight’s other published books include The Voices of Baseball: The Game’s Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America’s Pastime and Batting Clean: Why Dale Murphy Belongs in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Currently serving as editor for The Wahkiakum County Eagle, McKnight lives in Cathlamet, Washington, with his wife, Collette and their child, Adaira.

  “Bonfire The” - What the Living...

  RAF

  After twenty-seven years inside a living martial arts lineage, RAF set out to write down what no belt, no certificate, and no seminar could ever fully carry: the difference between collecting techniques and actually being transformed by them. 
  The Bonfire is not a manual. It is a transmission — drawn from decades of direct instruction under a master whose own art was passed to him as a living student, not a franchise. Through story, reflection, and hard-won clarity, RAF explores what it means to be shaped by something older and larger than yourself: discipline without ego, mastery without display, and a fire that is tended rather than performed. 
  Part memoir, part meditation on authentic transmission versus modern credentialing, this book speaks to anyone who has ever sensed that the deepest lessons in life rarely come with a diploma.

  In August 2014, Jim Gavin's Dubs seemed unstoppable. They were playing football at a level not seen in years – overwhelming opposition and seemingly growing stronger with every game.
  Nobody saw it coming: Donegal's beautifully timed semi-final ambush. The Ulstermen laid bare a chink in the Sky Blues' armour; a tactical hole which Gavin immediately set about filling.
  Dublin would not lose a championship game again for 2,540 days …
  Eric Haughan deep-dives into Dublin's seven years in footballing nirvana, an era of dominance and drama in which Gaelic football changed forever.
  Reviewing crucial matches and speaking to players and backroom staff, he pieces together the story of arguably the greatest side the game has ever seen … and the teams who tried to catch them.
