Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Denis Law signed for Manchester United from Torino for a British record fee of £115,000 in 1962, even at the age of 22 he had already established himself as one of the world's great forwards. No wonder his arrival at United sparked a revival in the club's fortunes, as they won the FA Cup in his first campaign. In his second season, 1963-64, he scored 46 goals - a club record that stands to this day - and became European Footballer of the Year. He then helped United to league titles in two of the next three terms, delivering 39 and 25 goals respectively. Now, having reached 70 years old, Denis looks back on his remarkable career and reflects on both the highs and the lows from his time on the pitch and beyond, as captured in lavishly reproduced photographs, many of them in full colour. Denis Law: My Life in Footballis a book no true fan of football can afford to be without.
Download or read book Denis Law written by Alex Gordon and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Law is undoubtedly Scottish football's favourite son. He is joint top record scorer for his country with an impressive strike rate of 30 goals in 52 games and scored in the famous 3 - 2 win over world champions England at Wembley in 1967. As well as his prolific strike rate, he was also part of the Scotland team that won their way through to the 1974 World Cup Finals in West Germany - the first time the Scots had reached the finals in 16 years. In this unique portrait of Denis Law, which is the first book solely devoted to his illustrious international career, Alex Gordon interviews a vast array of former teammates, including Willie Henderson, Davie Hay, John Greig, Pat Crerand, Tommy Gemmell, and international opponents such as Gordon Banks, George Best and Bobby Charlton. Denis Law was the showman supreme. He was more than a mere goal scorer whose cavalier thrusts and menacing darts brought panic to opposing defences. Law was an inspiration to those around him at club and country level and to younger generations of fans everywhere. Team-mates adored him, opponents feared him, fans revered him. He was a free spirit, an extrovert, a complete one-off, a rare combination of impudence and intelligence, class and clout. Denis Law is, was and always will be The King.

Download or read book The Lawman written by Denis Law and published by . This book was released on 2001-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Law remains one of the greatest names ever to have graced a football stadium. He personified the spirit of Manchester United during the sensational sixties and of course he breathed the fire of Scotland in the furthest corners of the world. Denis Law became a legend as he played and remains a legend today. In this highly charged and amusing memoir, Law takes us through the various - often controversial - steps of his phenomenal career and reveals how he really felt when he scored the goal that sent his favourite team into relegation. But more than that, Denis talks about the fire that still burns within him, the wish that he was still pulling on those famous United and Scotland shirts. He talks about life as television pundit, travelling to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean and the frozen wastes of Siberia just to give his opinion on a football match. And he talks about today's game and in particular about today's Manchester United. One of the most popular and charismatic figures ever involved in football, Denis Law also reveals his serious side, his brushes with death and his hopes for the future.This is not just a football story, it is the unique tale of a unique world star. At times he shoots from the hip - but then what else would you expect from The Lawman?

Book Synopsis Law and Truth by : Dennis Michael Patterson
Download or read book Law and Truth written by Dennis Michael Patterson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking up a single question--"What does it mean to say a proposition of law is true?"--this book advances a major new account of truth in law. Drawing upon the later philosophy of Wittgenstein, as well as more recent postmodern theory of the relationship between language, meaning, and the world, Patterson examines leading contemporary jurisprudential approaches to this question and finds them flawed in similar and previously unnoticed ways. He offers a powerful alternative account of legal justification, one in which linguistic practice--the use of forms of legal argument--holds the key to legal meaning.

Download or read book Sharia Law Or 'one Law for All?' written by Denis MacEoin and published by Civitas Book Publisher. This book was released on 2009 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sharia law is a distillation of rulings that purport to represent the divine diktat in all worldly affairs. It provides injunctions for the conduct of criminal, public and even international law. Marriage and divorce, the custody of children, alimony, sexual impropriety and much else come within its remit Sharia courts are operating in Britain, handing down rulings that may be inappropriate to this country, being linked to elements in Islamic law that are seriously out of step with trends in Western legislation that derive from the values of the Enlightenment and are inherent in modern codes of human rights. Sharia rulings contain great potential for controversy and may involve acts contrary to UK legal norms and human rights legislation. Denis MacEoin argues against the wider use of sharia law."--Back cover.

Download or read book A Scottish Football Hall of Fame written by John Cairney and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who have been football supporters all their lives can never forget the first match they ever saw, although they might not recall the result. This is because it is the players that stay in the memory and the magic moments they provided for millions of spectators in their time.Every generation throws up its own football field magicians and The Scottish Football Hall of Fame encapsulates the Saturday afternoon spell cast by fine footballers for ordinary working men who lived to cheer on their heroes every week. Fervour was passed down from father to son, and in this way the future of the clubs as well as the fame of a few golden greats was guaranteed. Players like R.S.McColl (Queen's Park), Bobby Walker (Hearts), Alan Morton (Rangers), Denis Law (Manchester United) and Kenny Dalglish (Celtic) are in this pantheon, and they span the arc of Scottish football from its earliest days till modern times. These, and more than a hundred like them, are the men you will read about in these pages. Men who were once household names are captured here in their sporting immortality and introduced to generations of football enthusiasts who never saw them play. The Scottish Football Hall of Fame gives a unique overview of the beautiful game, where by means of illuminating narrative and anecdote, legend can unite with historical fact to honour not only the wearers of the famous dark blue shirt but every foot-soldier in the Tartan Army who has ever shouted 'Scotland! Scotland!' from the terraces.
Download or read book King written by Brian Hughes and published by Empire Publications. This book was released on 2004-08-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Law was hero and villain all rolled into one. His high-octane performances for Scotland, Manchester United and Manchester City often put him on a crash course with the football establishment of the 1960s, as jealous onlookers from Merseyside and London would question his temperament and character. Yet for fans of both Manchester clubs, Denis was a Boys' Own hero: a player capable of incredible feats of skill and power, all carried off with the knowing smile and villainous touch that put some in mind of a Piccadilly pickpocket. To Mancunians, this son of an Aberdonian trawler-man became part of the fabric of the city; first as a dynamic frontman for the Sky Blues and later as an all-action hero at Matt Busby's United. In the latest of his biographies of former United greats, Brian Hughes traces the Scot's career from his arrival at Huddersfield as a 16-year-old to the dramatic conclusion of his career at Old Trafford playing for deadly rivals Manchester City. As Hughes discovers, Law remained a headline-writer's dream throughout a career that saw him land the FA Cup, European Cup and League Championship. At his most finest, Denis Europe's pre-eminent striker, winning the 1964 European Footballer of the Year award and selection alongside di Stefano and Puskas in the prestigious Rest of the World team that faced England in 1963's FA Centenary match. Denis' progress up the football ladder was meteoric. Yet the scrawny and bespectacled individual scouted by Huddersfield in 1955 didn't look much like a future world star. Most judges reckoned him too frail to succeed at professional level while Bill Shankly's first reaction was to put Law on the next train home. On the pitch though the Scot became, in Shankly's words, 'a terror'. A transfer to Manchester City for a record £55,000 soon followed and a £110,000 move to Torino confirmed Law's status as football's rising star. Yet Law always seemed destined for Busby's United. In the summer of 1962 Lawmania hit Old Trafford following the Reds £115,000 swoop for a player fans recognised as brilliant enough to win games single-handedly. Over the next six seasons, he proved the catalyst for Sir Matt's final push for European glory and, though he missed the European Cup Final in 1968, few doubted his influence on the club and supporters. Yet Denis' career took a dramatic twist with a free transfer from the Reds in 1973. City quickly stepped in to set-up the ironic denouement of April 1974 -- Denis' back heel consigning United to Second Division football and the Law legend to immortality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 30th July 1966. For millions it was the greatest day of the greatest decade. They may never have seen the Beatles in the Cavern or danced at Woodstock, but they got to see the finest moment in English sporting history. Everything came together that sunny afternoon. The country was the centre of the world in fashion, film and music - so why shouldn't the World Cup be England's as well? This is the story of that extraordinary 24 hours, told through the eyes of the players, the fans on the terraces, and those watching and listening at home and abroad.

Book Synopsis Law in Modern Society by : Denis Galligan
Download or read book Law in Modern Society written by Denis Galligan and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-09-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an introduction to law in modern society, D. J. Galligan considers how legal theory, and particularly H. L. A Hart's The Concept of Law, has developed the idea of law as a highly developed social system, which has a distinctive character and structure, and which shapes and influences people's behaviour. The concept of law as a distinct social phenomenon is examined through reference to, and analysis of, the work of prominent legal and social theorists, in particular M. Weber, E. Durkheim, and N. Luhmann. Galligan's approach is guided by two main ideas: that the law is a social formation with its own character and features, and that at the same time it interacts with, and is affected by, other aspects of society. In analysing these two ideas, Galligan develops a general framework for law and society within which he considers various aspects including: the nature of social rules and the concept of law as a system of rules; whether law has particular social functions and how legal orders run in parallel; the place of coercion; the characteristic form of modern law and the social conditions that support it; implementation and compliance; and what happens when laws are used to change society. Law in Modern Society encourages legal scholars to consider the law as an expression of social relations, examining the connections and tensions between the positive law of modern society and the spontaneous relations they often try to direct or change.
Book Synopsis What Happened to Serie A by : Steven G. Mandis
Download or read book What Happened to Serie A written by Steven G. Mandis and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s and 1990s, Serie A was known as 'Il campionato più bello del mondo' – the most beautiful championship in the world – and had the highest match attendances in Europe. The stadiums were not only full of people, but full of colour, flags, songs and rituals. Italy hosted World Cup 1990 and the stadia and stars on show in Serie A became iconic. Across a ten year period from 1989 to 1999 a remarkable 10 different Serie A clubs occupied nearly half the places in the finals of the Champions League and Europa Cup. They were dominant. But then in the 2000s they began to fall behind and despite the Azzurri winning the World Cup in 2006 and Inter Milan winning the Champions League in 2010, Italian football was on a downwards trajectory that saw the national team fail to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, their first absence from the tournament since 1958. What happened and why? In this extraordinary book, Steven G. Mandis investigates. Given unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to Italian clubs and key decision makers and players, Mandis is the first outside researcher to rigorously analyse both the on-the-pitch and business aspects of a club and league. What he learns is completely unexpected and challenges popular explanations and conventional wisdom.
Download or read book Red or Dead written by David Peace and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Editors' Choice "[T]he stuff of great literature." —The New York Times | "Red or Dead is a winner." —The Washington Post The place where the swinging sixties started – Liverpool, England, birthplace of the Beatles – wasn’t so swinging. Amid industrial blight and a bad economy, the port town’s shipping industry was going bust and there was widespread unemployment, with no assistance from a government tightening its belt. Even the Beatles moved to London. Into these hard times walked Bill Shankly, a former Scottish coal miner who took over the city’s perpetually last-place soccer team. He had a straightforward work ethic and a favorite song – a silly pop song done by a local band, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Soon he would have entire stadiums singing along, tens of thousands of people all dressed in the team color red . . . as Liverpool began to win . . . And soon, too, there was something else those thousands of people would chant as one: Shank-lee, Shank-lee . . . In Red or Dead, the acclaimed writer David Peace tells the stirring story of the real-life working-class hero who lifted the spirits of an entire city in turbulent times. But Red or Dead is more than a fictional biography of a real man, and more than a thrilling novel about sports. It is an epic novel that transcends those categories, until there’s nothing left to call it but – as many of the world’s leading newspapers already have – a masterpiece.

Book Synopsis Kit: Fashioning the Sporting Body by : Jean Williams
Download or read book Kit: Fashioning the Sporting Body written by Jean Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first edited collection of its kind to analyse the distinct but overlapping topics of dress, costume, sport and leisure history. For researchers of bodily adornment and movement, sport and costume history are both primarily concerned with industrial practice and embodied experience. The ways in which bodies are adorned, embellished and clothed (or revealed) highlights the hybrid nature of dress history, encompassing as it does the everyday clothing solutions of the mass of people and the unusual or more ceremonial aspects of costume, as well as elite high fashion. Although this is as yet an under-researched area, there are an increasing number of fashion and clothing undergraduate and postgraduate courses that specialise in sport and leisurewear. This publication is intended to give an introductory overview of the historical and contemporary issues as it does for the growing number of sport marketing and sports studies courses concerned with dress, costume history and branding. This book was published as a special issue of Sport in History.
