  A riotous peek into the off-beat world of one of football’s most recognisable 
  characters, Jon Parkin. 
  The much-travelled journeyman striker played for more than 20 clubs during a 
  career that stretched over two decades, and he has since become a co-host of the 
  hugely popular Undr The Cosh podcast. 
  Known as ‘The Beast’ due to his height and weight, this gentle giant has a 
  mischievous and irrepressible sense of humour that has won him thousands of fans. 
  Now, Parkin turns his focus to the world of football and celebrity in his own 
  inimitable way. 
  With more than 100 stand-along anecdotes, observations and the occasional rant, 
  Parkin has created a football book for ages, destined to poke fun at The Beautiful 
  Game, the people who run it and the world in general. 
  With Parky, everything is on the table in a hilarious, sideways look at football and 
  the wonderful characters he’s come across so far.

  Landaluce - The Story of Seattle...

  When Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew retired from racing in 1978 to stand at stud at Spendthrift Farm, no one could be certain he would be a successful sire. But just four years later, his dark bay daughter Landaluce won the Hollywood Lassie Stakes by twenty-one lengths—a margin of victory that remains the largest ever in any race by a two-year-old at Hollywood Park. California horse racing had a new superstar, and Slew was launched on a stud career that would make him one of the most influential sires in North America. Like her father, Landaluce soon became a national celebrity, and was poised to become the next American super-horse. But those dreams ended when the two-year-old died in her stall at Santa Anita four months later, the victim of a swift and mysterious illness. Today, with her "I Love Luce" bumper stickers long gone, the filly has been largely forgotten. 
  In Landaluce: The Story of Seattle Slew's First Champion, Mary Perdue tells the story of a horse whose short but meteoric career could have changed racing history forever. Sparking comparisons to Ruffian, Landaluce helped elevate California horse racing to the national stage and could have been the first filly to ever win the Triple Crown. Perdue explores the lives and careers of Landaluce's breeders, owners, and trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, as well as her famous sire, Seattle Slew—and shows not only how one filly captured the imagination of racing fans across the country, but also set the stage for another filly turned super-horse, Zenyatta, in the decades to come.

  Kung Fu is a form of body exercise deploying high combat skills, in addition to being a self-exercise on internal discipline and intense focus. It also works to develop one's ability to be ready and patient, to control one's emotions and mind appropriately. Although there is a similarity between this sport and some other martial arts such as Taekwondo and Karate, there is a difference between them, and they also differ in terms of rules and history. Based on my experience of Kung Fu and its benefits that overwhelmed me with positive energy, which in turn had a drastic effect on my personal and professional life, I wanted to share, dear reader, all the information I have about this ancient sport that will surely entice you to want to know more about it. So why not practice it seriously and make it a way of life for you and your children?
