A companion volume to Eat, Drink & Be Merry: Food & Drink
in Greek and Roman Times, this book describes another aspect of
life in those days. From the earliest times athletes competed in
local city events, and successful athletes added to their country's
respect in the eyes of the world.
WINNER TAKES IT ALL! The GBP100 Million Game is the eighth book in
the football-tastic Roy of the Rovers Graphic Novel series. Part of
the third season, this exciting series is written by award-winning
comics writer Rob Williams. It has been a tumultuous three seasons
since Roy Race first joined Melchester Rovers. Through financial
difficulties, injuries, the near-loss of their manager, new
ownership and the destruction of their old ground, the Rovers have
defied all expectations and now find themselves on the brink of
promotion into the Premiership, having also secured a place in the
cup final. As club captain and top striker, Roy has been
instrumental in the Rover's success. But although he's found glory
on the pitch, behind the scenes he has battled tragedy and
heartbreak. Now, as the season draws to a close, will Roy be able
to lead his team to victory? Praise for the Roy of the Rovers
series: EPIC! - Match of the Day Magazine I love the way that they
are about so much more than football: they are about heart, values
and family. Both graphic novel and fiction titles are compelling,
engaging and a lot of fun. Lace up and get reading. - Jim Sells,

MELCHESTER MELTDOWN! Relive the best Roy of the Rovers stories from
the 1990s in this exciting anthology of reprinted classic strips,
celebrating over 65 years of the iconic football comic. The dawn of
this new decade was one that Melchester Rovers would want to
forget. The 80/81 season was far from their finest hour with the
threat of relegation snapping at their heels all throughout the
season and exits from the F.A. Cup and the European Cup leaving the
trophy cabinet bare. For star striker Roy Race it couldn't be
worse. His obsession with the team had caused a strain on his
marriage and fractured his relationship with teammates like the
hot-headed Vic Guthrie. And then there was an attempt on his
life... After being shot in December 1981, Roy lay in a coma for
several weeks while Sir Alf Ramsey stepped into the dugout for
Melchester. Life in a lower division beckons, but at least the
Rovers will be the most stylish team on the pitch with their new
Gola sponsored kits!
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME! It's the start of a terrific new season
for Melchester Rovers. They are now a Championship club with a new
kit, new owners and a fabulous new stadium. With Sowerby now fully
integrated into the club, Rocky and Roy Race couldn't be happier.
But a personal tragedy and an appalling incident during a
Melchester Rovers match in Europe, will push the footballing
siblings to the limit. Enjoyed this title? Pick up Game Changer
next to continue the story! Praise for the Roy of the Rovers
series: EPIC! - Match of the Day Magazine I love the way that they
are about so much more than football: they are about heart, values
and family. Both graphic novel and fiction titles are compelling,

Bukayo Saka's versatility and sheer creativity on the pitch marked
him out as a player who would take the football world by storm. But
that same versatility often left him battling for a consistent
place in the starting line-up, as coaches tried to work out how to
use him to best advantage. Join Bukayo Saka on his exhilarating
journey to the very top of international football, taking in
devastating heartbreak as well as glorious successes on the way.
This biography is one of the titles in Ransom's Tales from the
Pitch series. These books offer a fresh take on the familiar
football biography format. Each of these fast-moving reads focuses
on one football superstar: some players who are still to reach the
summit of their career, and others who are already at the top of
their game. These are exhilarating reads about players from all
walks of life. Many have faced failure, injury and rejection, to
ultimately make their dreams come true and have inspirational
stories. So meet the footballers behind the iconic tackles and
goals, and find out what makes each of these players so special.
The No.1 football series - over 1 million copies sold! 'It's time
to shine,' Paul said to himself as he walked out of the tunnel and
onto to the Old Trafford pitch.' Pogba tells the exciting story of
how French wonder-kid Paul Pogba became Europe's best young player,
and finally fulfilled his dream of returning to his boyhood club
Manchester United in a world-record transfer. The sky is the limit
for United's new star. Have you read them all?
IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN! Relive the best Roy of the Rovers stories
from the 1970s in this exciting anthology of reprinted classic
strips, celebrating over 65 years of the iconic football comic.
Such was the popularity of Roy Race and the mighty Melchester
Rovers in Tiger, that on 25th September 1976, a brand new comic
titled Roy of the Rovers launched! It was a golden era for football
and the strip. Melchester Rovers had a strong team during the
latter half of the 70s, reaching a European Cup Final in '78 and
the UEFA Cup in '79. It was a time in which the team looked for new
talent from overseas and managed to land Varagosa's greatest
player, Paco Diaz. For Roy Race there were several professional and
personal triumphs, including a brief stint at managing the England
team and the birth of his twins. From becoming a parent to playing
alongside Trevor Francis and Malcolm MacDonald, Roy Race and the
Rovers continue to strike gold!
