For sports fans everywhere. The untold story of a team cobbled
together at the last minute that was so severely trounced in an
exhibition match that many Canadians were against sending them to
the Olympics for fear of embarrassment. With little financial
support, the team stayed in fleabag hotels and were widely
ridiculed -- until they hit Olympic ice and made hockey history. A
never-before-told story.Rare interviews with some of the original
players and key people behind the scenes are skilfully woven into a
breathtaking story of scorn, triumph and redemption. This is sports
writing at its finest. Macadam breathes life into his characters
and keeps our heart rates soaring as he skillfully helps us relive
hockey history and masterfully builds tension to the breaking
point.
Seoul Glow tells the story of the Great Britain men's hockey team
who won gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Little to the team's
knowledge, the final caught the British public's imagination as
they beat rivals West Germany in the gold-medal match. After Sean
Kerly's semi-final heroics and Imran Sherwani's double in the
final, BBC commentator Barry Davies uttered the now infamous line:
'Where were the Germans? But, frankly, who cares?' Victory, for a
team of amateurs, who had either quit their jobs or taken holiday
to play in Seoul, propelled the team to celebratory heights on
their return to British shores; it was GB's first hockey gold in
the post-war era and followed an eight-year plan for a major title.
The story also reveals how the team was inspirationally led by the
late Roger Self, the manager who gelled his players into Olympic
title holders.
