Mark, who first saw Wolves on TV as a seven-year-old in 1960 when they won the FA Cup - their last trophy - has returned to the club to pen a history. But this is history with a difference.

Download or read book Spartak Moscow written by Robert Edelman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-05 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the informative, entertaining, and generously illustrated Spartak Moscow, a book that will be cheered by soccer fans worldwide, Robert Edelman finds in the stands and on the pitch keys to understanding everyday life under Stalin, Khrushchev, and their successors. Millions attended matches and obsessed about their favorite club, and their rowdiness on game day stood out as a moment of relative freedom in a society that championed conformity. This was particularly the case for the supporters of Spartak, which emerged from the rough proletarian Presnia district of Moscow and spent much of its history in fierce rivalry with Dinamo, the team of the secret police. To cheer for Spartak, Edelman shows, was a small and safe way of saying "no" to the fears and absurdities of high Stalinism; to understand Spartak is to understand how soccer explains Soviet life. Champions of the Soviet Elite League twelve times and eleven-time winner of the USSR Cup, Spartak was founded and led for seven decades by the four Starostin brothers, the most visible of whom were Nikolai and Andrei. Brilliant players turned skilled entrepreneurs, they were flexible enough to constantly change their business model to accommodate the dramatic shifts in Soviet policy. Whether because of their own financial wheeling and dealing or Spartak's too frequent success against state-sponsored teams, they were arrested in 1942 and spent twelve years in the gulag. Instead of facing hard labor and likely death, they were spared the harshness of their places of exile when they were asked by local camp commandants to coach the prisoners' football teams. Returning from the camps after Stalin's death, they took back the reins of a club whose mystique as the "people's team" was only enhanced by its status as a victim of Stalinist tyranny. Edelman covers the team from its days on the wild fields of prerevolutionary Russia through the post-Soviet period. Given its history, it was hardly surprising that Spartak adjusted quickly to the new, capitalist world of postsocialist Russia, going on to win the championship of the Russian Premier League nine times, the Russian Cup three times, and the CIS Commonwealth of Independent States Cup six times. In addition to providing a fresh and authoritative history of Soviet society as seen through its obsession with the world's most popular sport, Edelman, a well-known sports commentator, also provides biographies of Spartak's leading players over the course of a century and riveting play-by-play accounts of Spartak's most important matches-including such highlights as the day in 1989 when Spartak last won the Soviet Elite League on a Valery Shmarov free kick at the ninety-second minute. Throughout, he palpably evokes what it was like to cheer for the "Red and White."

Book Synopsis The History of Women's Football by : Jean Williams
Download or read book The History of Women's Football written by Jean Williams and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete history of women’s football in Great Britain, from its Victorian games beginning in 1881 to 2022 and planning for the Euro Finals. In The History of Women’s Football, author Jean Williams demonstrates how women’s football began as a professional sport, and has only recently returned to these professional roots in the UK. This is because there was a fifty-year Football Association ‘ban’ on women playing on pitches affiliated to the governing body in England. The other British associations followed suit. Why was women’s football banned in 1921? Why did it take until 1969 for a Women’s Football Association to form? Why did it take until 1995 for England to qualify for a Women’s World Cup? Answers to these key questions are supplemented across the chapters by personal accounts of the players who defied the ban, at home and abroad, along with the personal costs, and rewards, of being footballing pioneers. Praise for The History of Women’s Football “This book was very informed, detailed and a very good read. As a football fan, I was staggered by how much I didn’t know and how if football had been better supported at the beginning of the century there is a good chance women’s football would be on a par with the men’s game now . . . this was a very interesting read and I would happily recommend this book to fellow football fans.” —UK Historian
Download or read book Viva Nuno written by Michael Petalengro and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when the football team you support suddenly gains new owners and new ideas? Get a Football Coach that seems more like a Philosopher than a footballer? What happens when your team start playing beautiful football? Get promoted to the Premier League? What happens when they start doing everything right but you, the doughnut who goes every week to watch them has to deal with the dichotomy of your team doing well while you are eating Fray Bentos pies and looking for bargains in Poundland? Enjoy the tales and the madness from Sunderland to Southampton. From the top of a Welsh Mountain to the cloying atmosphere of London. But more importantly find out how a Philosopher from a small island in the Atlantic came to the Midlands of England to stamp a philosophy and a movement on a team that held glory as a distant monochrome memory and in his own way brought a whole City to it's feet to sing his name. 'Viva Nuno' is a strange book. Metaphysics, Psychogeography, friends dealing with Heroin withdrawal, broken legs, broken hearts. There is love, beautiful football, tears, anger, near death experiences. This book runs through a whole gamut of emotive experiences and was written 'on the spot' and barely changed from notes written on the back of programmes and on phones. It's a ride of a lifetime that runs from the lowest points of this record breaking Wolves season to the very highest. Sometimes the confusion is evident in the prose but that confusion is all part and parcel of the experience and the insanity. "We are the media now.....fuck, my biscuit has fell in my tea. Yeah the disinformation, the fake articles, the men in tight suits and tighter expense accounts, the back slappers, the sidlers, idlers, the useless dregs of the old order...picking out a floating half a biscuit in hot tea, shoving it in your face while your fingers burn. Got it all out too. Kwan. Belief. Just say No to Fake Football journalism."My advice is to settle down and be open to this particular experience. Make a cup of tea and grab a packet of biscuits. Find out what experiences we have shared as football fans. This book will make you cry, laugh, shout, throw stuff. But more importantly it will show you how football affects supporters in their day to day lives. This book is for us and for every other football supporter that has lost hope. Never forget...'Out of Darkness Cometh Light'
Download or read book Molineux: 300 Years written by Alec Brew and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2019-12-08 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 300 Years the name Molineux has been indelibly linked with the town of Wolverhampton, known throughout the World as the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, but only for the last 130 of those years. Built in 1720 as one of the finest private homes in the town, with large formal gardens, Molineux became in turn a hotel with pleasure gardens and a home for major exhibitions, and cricket and boxing matches and the home of cycle racing in this country, but then the local football club moved in and began developing a stadium in which the Wolves won famous victories against top European teams in floodlit friendlies, and inspired the creation of the European Cup. After both the hotel and the team and stadium fell into the depths of decay, they eventually re-emerged as the home of the City's Archives, and a magnificent home for a re-energised team which brought back European football, and local pride.
