From Beauty to Duty - Martin Da Cruz - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From Beauty to Duty - Martin Da Cruz - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Uruguay remains a curious case in world football. Early Olympic and World Cup triumphs made it the game''s first global power, and the small country has punched above its weight ever since. But the story behind its success is untold. In this first English-language history of Uruguayan football, Martin da Cruz maps the game''s journey from exclusive British pastime to Uruguayan national passion, bringing to life the teams, players and personalities who helped create one of the world''s most intense sporting cultures. From the start, football was intimately tied to Uruguay''s national story. Wedged between giants Argentina and Brazil and lacking a cohesive national identity, Uruguay used the game to create unified and educated citizens, to put an end to civil war and become an advanced social democracy. Yet football also drove counter-narratives of class and race, challenging Uruguay''s self-identification as a peaceful, ''white'' nation. From Beauty to Duty is the story of a little country made big.

Dynamite and Davey - Steven Bell - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Dynamite and Davey - Steven Bell - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Dynamite and Davey: The Explosive Lives of The British Bulldogs is the triumphant but ultimately tragic story of Tom Billington and Davey Boy Smith. Cousins born just a couple of years apart in a small mining town near Wigan, Tom and Davey discovered the art of wrestling as schoolboys. Tom went on to become ''The Dynamite Kid'', arguably the greatest and most pioneering wrestler in history, but his short temper and determination to reach the top of a sport dominated by naturally bigger men would be his undoing. The more reserved Davey became a global superstar, but followed his cousin not just into exceptionalism, but into heavy substance abuse as well. Ultimately, the extraordinarily dysfunctional world of pro wrestling would prove too much for the cousins from Golborne - one proud, one naive. Together they became the best and most influential tag team of their generation. But they could not escape their demons, and their triumphs eventually submitted to their tragedy. Dynamite and Davey is a gripping cautionary tale.

Even the Defeats - John Silk - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Even the Defeats - John Silk - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Even the Defeats is the story of how painful moments in Sir Alex Ferguson''s early reign inspired him to lead Manchester United to some of their greatest successes. A heavy 5-1 loss at Manchester City in Ferguson''s early tenure led pundits and supporters to question the Scot''s position, but by the season''s end he was holding aloft his first trophy at the club -- the FA Cup. This trend continued when an end-of-season collapse handed Leeds United the league title in the spring of 1992, only to galvanise United to their first championship in 26 years the very next year. From struggles in Europe to winning the treble, from losing the title on goal difference to their city rivals to winning the Premier League in Ferguson''s final season in charge - rising from the depths of despair to achieve glory, and using failure to fuel success, was arguably Sir Alex''s greatest strength. John Silk brings you the inside story of what made Ferguson tick, with views from players, coaches and other members of staff from the great Scot''s reign.

Scotland in the 60s - Ronnie Mcdevitt - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Scotland in the 60s - Ronnie Mcdevitt - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The 1960s heralded a golden age of players who wore the dark blue of Scotland. Law, Gilzean, Baxter, Greig and Johnstone are just some of the names still familiar to supporters today. Bookended by heavy defeats against the Auld Enemy, the decade witnessed just one other defeat in the annual fixture against England and contained both the most-celebrated and horrific of Wembley encounters. The ''60s also included a brief spell with Jock Stein as manager and the only Scotland international to date to be decided in extra time. Valiant but ultimately failed World Cup campaigns included memorable matches against Italy, West Germany and Czechoslovakia; an embarrassing loss to the amateurs of Norway was offset by a six-goal spree in Spain a matter of days later. Set against the backdrop of the Swinging Sixties, Scotland in the 60s looks at each of the 64 matches played by the national side during the period and the consequences of those results. Extensive newspaper and video archive research is complemented by the memories of the players who took part and the reminiscences of supporters and journalists who were there.
