Book Synopsis Racing Hard by : William Fotheringham
Download or read book Racing Hard written by William Fotheringham and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few British schoolchildren of the seventies can have been as obsessed with the Tour de France as William Fotheringham, who smuggled copies of Miroir du Cyclisme into lessons to read inside his books. He saw the Tour for the first time in 1984, avidly following that year's race on television in the Normandy village where he lived. Since joining the Guardian in 1989, William Fotheringham has been at the forefront of British cycling journalism. Here he reflects on the events of the last twenty-three years - the triumphs, the tragedies and the scandals that have engulfed the world's most demanding sport. Key articles from his career are annotated with notes and reflections. What would he have said if he'd known then what we all know now about Lance Armstrong? Which cyclists and teams were not all they seemed? And which victories still rank as the greatest of all time? This is the definitive collection of cycling reporting.
Book Synopsis Tales from the Fraud Squad by : Willie McGee
Download or read book Tales from the Fraud Squad written by Willie McGee and published by Merrion Press. This book was released on 2022-04-20 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales from the Fraud Squad takes the reader on a journey from Willie McGee’s childhood in Mayo to the mean streets of Dublin as a fresh-faced officer in the late seventies, before rising through the ranks to become Head of the Fraud Squad. This book is packed full of extraordinary stories of elaborate forgeries, outrageous insurance scams and inventive crimes, along with the ingenious and meticulous attention to detail with which officers amassed evidence and brought the perpetrators to court. McGee writes fluidly and incisively, and tells his story with an open-hearted charm and warmth. Whether dealing with a common criminal or a former Taoiseach under the spotlight of a tribunal, McGee was unwavering in his quest for the truth. As he succinctly puts it, ‘money is never free and those who were caught paid a severe price for thinking that it was’. Equally well known for his heroics on the football field, Mayoman Willie ‘Four-goals’ McGee depicts a host of colourful characters – the con artists and tricksters he encountered in the line of duty – and paints a vivid picture of the murky underworld of Ireland in the 1980s and ’90s.

Download or read book Secret Agent written by and published by Arena Sport. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I always knew I wanted to do something in football just like I always knew I wanted to be rich.' So begins this true account from a British football agent currently working at the heart of the English game. From mere coffee boy, to lowly scout, to multi-million pound wheeler dealer with the Big Four and the cream of the clubs in the UEFA Champions League: this book charts The Secret Agent's fast and furious progress through the dressing rooms, board rooms and bedrooms during the most recent days of the premier league. The glamorous field of sports agents was made famous over a decade ago in the Tom Cruise film Jerry Maguire but a romantic comedy this most definitely isn't - The Secret Agent presents the somewhat darker truth that often lies behind that film's most memorable line 'SHOW ME THE MONEY!!' a witty, worrisome, fearless and occasionally heartless account of ambition, greed, and power in a cut -throat and self-obsessed world. This book doesn't just look to lift the lid on today's EPL it tears it off and hurls it across the room. In the recent January transfer window the football world saw over 2,500 transactions take place and spending of close to $350 million - with sums like these involved it is hardly surprising that the beautiful game attracts no shortage of young men quite prepared to break the rules in order to get their share of the spoils.
Book Synopsis You Don't Know Me, But . . . by : Clarke Carlisle
Download or read book You Don't Know Me, But . . . written by Clarke Carlisle and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2012, Clarke Carlisle, after 15 years as a professional footballer, was without a contract and wondering if he still had a future in the game. With a growing media profile, thanks to his appearances on Question Time and an acclaimed documentary on racism in football, there were plenty of other opportunities, but he was determined to give it another go. Initially signing for York City before moving to Northampton Town, Carlisle was soon back in the thick of the action. As the events of the year unfolded, Carlisle looked back at his career, from his early days playing for England Under-21s, through career-threatening injuries and a battle with alcohol problems, to a late arrival at the top level with Burnley. As chairman of the PFA, Carlisle is a much-respected figure in the game; his raw honesty and penetrating insights will make readers view the game, and those who play it, in a whole new light.

His students are an unruly mob stuffed with behavioural issues, but somehow, the Secret Teacher needs to enthuse them with a love of books.
