Book excerpt: Alan Edge is a lifelong Liverpool supporter who grew up in an environment where team loyalties were embedded in working-class culture. He was shocked to discover that his young son not only had not intention of following in his father's footsteps as a Liverpool fan, but preferred a Newcastle shirt because it was more fashionable! Faith of our Fathers is more than a personal story; it is a universal tale written with a strong sense of pathos and a rare capacity to bring to life the concerns of fans who feel the game they grew up with is being eroded by commercial exploitation.
Book Synopsis Dari Sihir Afrika Hingga Gereja Maradona by : Andy Marhaendra
Download or read book Dari Sihir Afrika Hingga Gereja Maradona written by Andy Marhaendra and published by Bentang Pustaka. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masih ingat “Gol Tangan Tuhan” bikinan Maradona? Seusai pertandingan, rekan-rekan timnya mengatakan, "Kita telah merampok mereka (karena ‘“Gol Tangan Tuhan’). Maradona menjawab, "Biarlah, mereka juga pernah merampok kita (saat Perang Malvinas).” Orang-orang Inggris generasi lama sangat membenci Maradona. Sebaliknya, orang-orang Argentina membuatkan sebuah ruang pemujaan bernama Gereja Maradona di Buenos Aires pada 2003. Buku ini adalah sekumpulan artikel seru yang memotret drama di dalam dan di luar lapangan dalam sejarah sepakbola dunia: pelatih timnas Prancis Raymond Domenech memilih para pemain berdasarkan zodiak mereka, para penggila sepakbola Afrika Selatan bakal membikin pekak kuping para pemain di lapangan dengan vuvuzela. Ada lagi tragedi-tragedi yang paling banyak memakan korban dalam sejarah sepakbola, kisah kelompok suporter sepakbola Argentina nan brutal bernama barrabravas, ritual di Gereja Maradona, penggunaan “sihir” di ajang sepakbola di tanah Afrika. Selain itu, ada kisah para wasit yang diancam mati oleh suporter, para pelatih yang melatih timnas negara lain dan harus berhadapan dengan timnas negara asalnya sendiri, dan masih banyak lagi kisah seru dan unik yang jarang diungkap. Lupakan sejenak semua persoalan sehari-hari. Selama sebulan, mulai 11 Juni sampai 11 Juli 2010 ini, perhatian dunia akan tertuju ke Afrika Selatan, tempat hajatan spektakuler Piala Dunia digelar. Sepakbola adalah euforia dunia. Meskipun tidak didukung data resmi, boleh dibilang lebih dari setengah penduduk dunia adalah penggemar sepakbola. Kurang lengkap rasanya bila menggemari sepakbola hanya sebatas mencermati skor pertandingan dan menyoraki pemenangnya. Sepakbola tidak bisa lepas dari drama, dan kisah dramanya tak kalah seru dibandingkan dengan film-film box office atau novel bestseller sekalipun. Dalam konteks itu, buku kompilasi drama sepakbola dunia ini akan menjadi kawan yang sangat pas sebagai penyedap kegiatan nonton bola. [Mizan, Bentang, Pustaka, Olahraga, Indonesia]

Download or read book We had Dreams and Songs to Sing written by Keith Salmon and published by MP Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-24 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book born out of a once in a lifetime trip to Istanbul. Follow one mans life bound by his passion for Liverpool FC.

The journey takes in the football fields of Europe and a brief sojourn into the professional game. The story is true and mirrors that of thousands of normal football fans. There is a piece of every one of you in his story! This is what Tony Evans, Football Editor at 'The Times' had to say about this book: “Rarely has a book shown how interwoven football is into the fabric of everyday life. A superb illustration of why the game matters and why it’s important not to surrender the sport to the profiteers and corporate con-men... We Had Dreams and Songs to Sing shows that football still matters and, more importantly, it shows why it matters”.
Download or read book The Hurricane Port written by Andrew Lees and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scousers believe they live in a special place, one that has more in common with Salvador da Bahia, New Orleans or Gdansk than anywhere in England, and the city has always punched above its weight. In less than a hundred years, however, Liverpool's image has declined from a major mercantile player known as the Second City of the Empire to what some social commentators have described as a cultural backwater remembered largely as the place where the Beatles were born. In The Hurricane Port, Andrew Lees reveals how Liverpool's pre-eminence in the slave trade left an indelible scar on the psychogeography of the city. He also explores the roots of Liverpool's contrary nature, its rebelliousness and its hedonism, as well as some of the recent hurricanes that have battered the city, including the anger of Toxteth, Militant's stand against Margaret Thatcher and the murder of James Bulger. In this distinctly personal account, Lees defines the characteristics of this Celtic enclave, with her loudmouthed, big-hearted people who have created a city quite different from anywhere else in the world.

Book Synopsis 44 Years With The Same Bird by : Brian Reade
Download or read book 44 Years With The Same Bird written by Brian Reade and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-01-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been football books which have told their tale through the partisan heart of a besotted fan, and those that have dissected their subject through the scientific mind of an objective writer. But rarely does one fuse the blind passion of a lifelong supporter with the cold eye of an award-winning journalist in the way 44 Years With The Same Bird does. That bird is the Liver Bird, and on the surface this book is a pitch-side view of the entire modern era of Britain's most successful football club. It is Brian Reade's take on the extraordinary stories behind the 48 trophies he has seen Liverpool lift since watching them en route to their first ever FA Cup win in 1965, right through to the Champions League defeat in Athens in 2007. It takes in all of the big nights that propelled the club to five European Cups, three UEFA Cups, twelve titles, countless domestic cup triumphs, bitter failures, the tragic disasters in Sheffield and Brussels, as well as the barren years of the late 60s and the 90s. But the book goes far deeper than that. It's about how football allowed a father who was separated from his son to forge a precious bond. How a football club can make a city that is dying on its knees keep believing in itself. How you should never, as a professional, get too close to your heroes. How being part of a disaster at a football match (Hillsborough) can leave you a mental wreck, unwilling to carry on, but how witnessing a miracle on a football pitch (Istanbul) makes you realize that no matter how low you sink, you should never give in.

Download or read book Red Mist: A Fan's View of the 2014/15 Season written by Neil Collins and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AFTER the heartbreak of last year's near miss, Kopites anticipated Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool taking one step further and winning their first title since 1990. But what followed was one of the most tumultuous seasons in the club's history. Luis Suarez was embroiled in the third biting incident of his career at the World Cup, and was reluctantly sold to Barcelona. His replacement was the equally controversial Mario Balotelli. And with the season at its lowest ebb, the bombshell was dropped that arguably Liverpool's greatest ever player, Steven Gerrard would be leaving. Experience all the trials and tribulations from the perspective of an obsessive LFC fan featuring articles from The Liverpool Way, Red All Over the Land and We Are Liverpool fanzines. Packed with honesty and dark humour, Red Mist is an intense examination of what exactly went wrong at Anfield this season both on the pitch and behind the scenes."
