There is only one Arsène Wenger - and for the very first time, in his own words, this is his story.
In this definitive autobiography, the world-renowned, revolutionary football manager discusses his life and career, sharing his leadership principles for success on and off the field. At Arsenal, Wenger won multiple Premier League titles, a record number of FA Cups, and masterminded the historic 'Invincibles' season of 2003-2004. He changed the game in England forever, popularising an attacking approach and changing attitudes towards nutrition, fitness and coaching methods - and towards foreign managers. The book charts his extraordinary career, from his rise in France and Japan where he managed Nancy, Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight - clubs that also play in red-and-white - to his twenty-two years at the helm in north London.
A must-read not only for Arsenal supporters but football fans everywhere, MY LIFE IN RED AND WHITE illuminates the mystique surrounding one of the most respected managers in the world's most popular sport.
In this fun and fact-filled book, Football Superstar's dynamic duo, Dan and Simon tell the story of the rise of Cole Palmer, England's attacking midfielder who has lit up the Premier League with Chelsea. They chart the Englishman's rise to superstardom, from his early days coming up through the Manchester City youth academy to his debut for City in 2020 and his subsequent move to Chelsea in 2023, where he chalked up 27 goals and 15 assists in all competitions in his first season. Palmer's stunning performances for England at the 2024 EUROs have catapulted him to superstardom. Along the way, you'll learn about the people who helped him on his journey, plus get all the exciting facts and stats that make Palmer a global footballing hero.. True to the Football Superstars brand, the book is filled with fun cartoons, inspirational stories, a simple narrative style and a cast of characters chipping in with quotes, jokes and comments.
Treat yourself to Second Helpings and more choice cuts in the style
of Simon Brown's much lauded first volume of memoirs, Playing off
the Roof & Other Stories. Exuberantly revisiting his early
years in National Service, at Oxford and as a young barrister, Lord
Brown recalls matters grave and trivial from his time at the Bar
and on the Bench, along the way regaling us with tales of
Paddington Bear, Nigel Lawson and Mozart at the Warsaw opera. He
also has something to say about the current legal scene and
considers such thorny problems as the 2019 prorogation judgment and
whether trial by jury might be dispensed with in order to clear a
mounting backlog of criminal cases. Drawing witty lessons from a
life of trials, Lord Brown finds time to muse on when a judge might
choose to change a sentence already imposed, what to say after
dinner and why the game of golf is strictly for the birds!
Murrayfield, the Calcutta Cup, March 1990. England vs. Scotland -
winner-takes-all for the Five Nations Grand Slam, the biggest prize
in northern hemisphere rugby. Will Carling's England are the very
embodiment of Margaret Thatcher's Britain - snarling, brutish and
all-conquering. Scotland are the underdogs - second-class citizens
from a land that's become the testing ground for the most unpopular
tax in living memory: Thatcher's Poll Tax. In Edinburgh,
nationalism is rising high - what happens in the stadium will
resound far beyond the pitch. The Grudge brilliantly recaptures a
day that has gone down in history when a rugby match became more
than a game. This is the real story of an extraordinary conflict,
told with astounding insight and unprecedented access to key
players, coaches and supporters on both sides (Will Carling, Ian
McGeechan, Brian Moore and the rest). Tom English has produced a
gripping account of a titanic struggle that thrusts the reader
right into the heart of the action. Game on. Fully revised and
updated, this special hardback edition is published to mark the
thirtieth anniversary of Scotland's most storied rugby season.
Arguing about the merits of players is the baseball fan's second
favorite pastime and every year the Hall of Fame elections spark
heated controversy. In a book that's sure to thrill--and
infuriate--countless fans, Bill James takes a hard look at the
Hall, probing its history, its politics and, most of all, its
decisions.
