  How Manchester United conquered all, by the players who won everything 
  ______________________________________________________________With a foreword by Ruud van NistelrooyAn Irish Times Bestseller 
  The Champions League, the Club World Cup, 6 Premier League Titles, 1 FA Cup, 3 League Cups, 4 Community Shields, 1 legendary manager. From Rio to Rome, 2000–2010. 
  This is the story of one of the greatest eras in the history of England’s most successful club, told through the eyes of the players who made it happen. Not just the big wins, the cup finals and the trophy parades, but the half-time rows, the mad pranks, the boozy nights out and the training-ground bust-ups. 
  Andy Mitten has tracked down eleven of the stars from those Premier League and Champions League winning teams to open the door to both the dressing room and the boardroom at Old Trafford as the club cemented its status as the dominant force in English football. 
  Bring on United is an astonishingly candid and revealing insight into the workings of a relentless winning machine. More than that, it’s as lively and entertaining a sports book as you’ll ever read. 
  Featuring exclusive interviews with Nemanja Vidić, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Patrice Evra, Gary Neville, Dimitar Berbatov, Jaap Stam, John O’Shea, Wes Brown, Dwight Yorke, Diego Forlán and Ryan Giggs. 
  Andy Mitten's Bring on United is a modern masterpiece of non-fiction, a top-rated autobiography that captures the essence of 21st-century football. This biography is a recreation of the best moments in the sport, told through the eyes of those who lived them. 
  For fans of Wayne Barton (The Last Busby Babe), Jon Spurling (Get It On), Chris Blackhurst (The World's Biggest Cash Machine), Ian Graham (The Ultimate Book of Impostors), and Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run).

  Rethinking Fandom - How to Beat...

  “Modern fandom is rubbish, and Calcaterra explains why, but in so doing, also shows us the way out of our desensitized, corporate, laundry-hugging ways.” —Keith Law, The Athletic   Sports fandom isn’t what it used to be. Owners and executives increasingly count on the blind loyalty of their fans and too often act against the team’s best interest. Sports fans are left deliberating not only mismanagement, but also political, health, and ethical issues.   In Rethinking Fandom, sportswriter (and lifelong sports fan) Craig Calcaterra outlines endemic problems with what he calls the Sports-Industrial Complex, such as intentionally tanking a season to get a high draft pick, scamming local governments to build cushy new stadiums, actively subverting the players, bad stadium deals, racism, concussions, and more. But he doesn’t give up on professional sports. In the second half of the book, he proposes strategies to reclaim joy in fandom: rooting for players instead of teams, being a fair-weather fan, becoming an activist, and other clever solutions.   With his characteristic wit and piercing commentary, Calcaterra argues that fans have more power than they realize to change how their teams behave.  “If you’re like me and love sports but have become increasingly dismayed by the ‘sports-industrial complex,’ Calcaterra’s book will prove a balm that allows you to hold onto that fandom without turning a blind eye to the myriad problems and sources of exploitation on the field.” —John Warner, The Chicago Tribune  “Rather than simply criticizing, Calcaterra provides positive solutions to help us form a healthier and more thoughtful relationship with the sports we love. A vital book for any sports fan in the 21st century.” —Mike Duncan, New York Times–bestselling author

Over time, boxing has evolved into a regulated sport with worldwide recognition, drawing millions of fans and participants alike. 
  - Football Fundamentals: The origins of American football lie in two English sports: soccer and rugby. In the mid-1800s, colleges in the United States began to play their own variations of these games. Harvard, Princeton, and Yale were instrumental in experimenting with the rules, gradually distinguishing their style of play from soccer and rugby. The first intercollegiate game, played in 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton, resembled soccer more than the football we know today. Over the next few decades, the sport evolved significantly.
