Book Synopsis The Little Book of Liverpool FC by : Geoff Tibballs
Download or read book The Little Book of Liverpool FC written by Geoff Tibballs and published by Carlton Publishing Group. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An official product of the Club, and the perfect gift for the Kopite in your life This collection contains more than 185 quotes on Liverpool Football Club from legendary players, great managers, famous fans, and envious opponents. Liverpool's place in English soccer's hierarchy is recognized around the world and almost every high-profile star on the move gets linked with the Anfield club. Under manager Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool remain the benchmark for success. Title No. 19 remains the Holy Grail, but cup success is a common theme, including the record-setting eighth League Cup success in 2012. No British club is close to matching Liverpool's eight cup victories in Europe, and they came within inches of achieving another eight-timer, this time in the FA Cup two months later. From Alan Hansen and Graeme Souness through Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, and Jamie Redknapp to Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard, few clubs can boast as many people with so much to say for themselves, especially in the case of ex-manager Bill Shankly, English soccer's most quoted man. Liverpool have a proud tradition and a very loyal support, and this book captures the flavor of both.

The Little Book of Manchester is an intriguing, fast-paced, fact-packed compendium of places, people and events in the city, from its Roman origins to the present day. Here you can read about the important contributions the city made to the history of the nation, learn about the individual communities and how they came together to form the modern city and meet some of the great men and women, the eccentrics and the scoundrels with which its history is littered.

Book Synopsis The Little Book of the London Underground by : David Long
Download or read book The Little Book of the London Underground written by David Long and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2010-12-26 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did You Know? In 1884 the Circle Line opened and was described in The Times as ‘a form of mild torture which no person would undergo if he could conveniently help it.’ According to one psychologist, Tube commuters can experience greater levels of stress than a police officer facing a rioting mob or even a fighter pilot going into a dogfight. Underground trains have only twice been used to transport deceased people in coffins: William Gladstone and Dr Barnardo. Some of the most bizarre items handed in to lost property include 250lb of sultanas, a 14ft canoe, a child’s garden slide, a harpoon gun, a pith helmet, an artificial leg, someone’s brother’s ashes and a sealed box containing three dead bats. WITH well over a billion passengers a year, more than 250 miles of track, literally hundreds of different stations and a history stretching back at least 160 years, the world’s oldest underground railway might seem familiar, but how well do you actually know it? This book offers a feast of Tube-based trivia for travellers and lovers of London alike.
