Book Synopsis International Sport by : Richard William Cox
Download or read book International Sport written by Richard William Cox and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an explosion in the quantity of sports history literature published in recent years, making it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of developments. The annual number of publications has increased from around 250 to 1,000 a year over the last decade. This is due in part to the fact that during the late 1980s and 90s, many clubs, leagues and governing bodies of sport have celebrated their centenaries and produced histories to mark this occasion and commemorate their achievements. It is also the result of the growing popularity and realisation of the importance of sport history research within academe. This international bibliography of books, articles, conference proceedings and essays in the English language is a one-stop for the sports historian to know what is new.
Book Synopsis The Daily Telegraph Book of the Tour de France by : Martin Smith
Download or read book The Daily Telegraph Book of the Tour de France written by Martin Smith and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2012-06-03 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man, a bike and the open road. What could be simpler? Certainly not the Tour de France, the annual travelling circus which for more than a century has been the ultimate test of sporting endurance.There’s been pain. There’s been joy. There’s been death. There’s been derring-do of mythic proportions. There’s been cheating. There’ve been drugs. There’ve always been drugs. And there’s always been the Daily Telegraph. On the peaks of Mont Ventoux, Alpe D’Huez and Col du Galibier, in amongst the picnicking, partying crowds, whizzing through London in 2007’s wondrous opening stage, dropping in and out of the peloton, the Telegraph has been there for every turn of the wheel. The book features eyewitness accounts of cycling greats Fausto Coppi, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain and Lance Armstrong, along with details of the contest’s darker side – including the 1967 death of Tom Simpson and the stain of doping. Boasting contemporary, firsthand reports from leading cycling correspondents including J.B Wadley, David Saunders and Phil Liggett, this book captures the full drama of the tour. Chris Boardman and David Millar provide views from the saddle; James Cracknell swaps his boat for a bike on a pre-race reconnaissance mission; Paul Hayward catalogues the 1998 ‘Tour of Shame’; while Brendan Gallagher eulogises the colossi who bestrode the race, and searches for their modern-day successors. Together, they chronicle the greatest show on two wheels. Martin Smith was formerly assistant sports editor and sports writer at the Daily Telegraph, where he worked for more than twenty years. An enthusiastic cyclist in his youth, he graduated to the less arduous four wheels as soon as he was able.

Book Synopsis Scottish Sporting Legends by : Robert Philip
Download or read book Scottish Sporting Legends written by Robert Philip and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland may not have won a World Cup (yet!), but many of the country’s sportsmen and women are revered as global legends, including Olympic and US Open champion Andy Murray and winner of six Olympic gold medals, Sir Chris Hoy. In football, the likes of Denis Law, ‘Slim’ Jim Baxter and Jimmy ‘Jinky’ Johnstone would not have looked out of place in the canary yellow of Brazil, while managers Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly and Jock Stein have become part of football folklore, as has Sir Alex Ferguson in more recent times. Amazingly, Scots have reached the top in just about every major sport: Jim Clark and Sir Jackie Stewart in Formula One; Andy Murray in tennis; Ken Buchanan and Benny Lynch in the boxing ring; Chris Hoy in cycling; sprinters Allan Wells and Eric Liddell on the Olympic track; and, as befits a nation renowned as ‘the home of golf’, Sandy Lyle was recognised as the greatest player on the planet upon winning the Masters in 1988. Scottish sport is the richest of tapestries and in Scottish Sporting Legends the cream of the crop are entertainingly profiled in a revealing collection of pen portraits of stars past and present.

Book Synopsis Hillsborough: Profit Before People by : Brian Cranwell
Download or read book Hillsborough: Profit Before People written by Brian Cranwell and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 15 1989, 96 football supporters died and over 700 were injured in the Hillsborough Stadium disaster - one of the worst tragedies in football history. Brian Cranwell, a local vicar, was there overnight organising help and care for those seeking news of the injured and dying. While the verdicts of the Warrington Inquest jury have listed culpability of not just the police and ambulance services but also the Sheffield Wednesday club and other agencies, media and public discussion has focused almost entirely on the shortcomings of the police and the decision that the victims were unlawfully killed. The fact is that the tragedy would have come as no surprise to anyone involved. The Wednesday club Directors had failed to implement safety recommendations, on cost grounds, made after previous crushes that had left many people injured. The Football Association was aware that the ground had been refused clearance for international matches. The Inspectorate responsible for ground safety had not renewed the ground's safety certificate for 10 years. And the police and Social Services, despite previous similar events, had no major incident contingency plans. Although legislation was introduced 100 years earlier to ensure safety in theatres (following a fire killing 150 people in Bristol), it was not until 1975 that the Safety in Sports Grounds Act was set up for arenas that hold 20 or 30 times more people than theatres. The Hillsborough disaster never should have happened. But Brian Cranwell discusses examples of other institutions, many of whom have experienced major incidents resulting in death, yet who, as shown by the history of football clubs, believe "e;it could not happen here"e; or treat such incidents as a "e;one off"e;. He also points out that many other issues, from facilities for disabled fans to health and mental consequences of the use of the head in sports, indicate that the attitudes towards the welfare of fans and players (described by Sir Stanley Matthews as treating them as terrace fodder) is secondary in many wealthy clubs to maximising income.
