Britain is rich in sporting heroes (men, women and animals!) and
many are celebrated in sculptures around the country. These
'sporting immortals' are the focus of this beautifully illustrated
and unique book. The author, Ian Hewitt, set out to discover the
story of Britain's sporting legacy through the sculptures and
distinctive memorials inspired by these heroes. The result of his
travels is this book that provides a fascinating and vivid view of
the history and development of British sport. Divided into eras of
our sporting history, the book features a wide array of immortals
accompanied by informative text about each subject and by specially
commissioned, striking photographs of some truly fascinating
sculptures. Legends include: Dixie Dean, Jackie Milburn, Mary Rand,
Brian Clough, Fred Trueman, W G Grace, Virginia Wade, Fred Perry,
Bobby Moore, Steve Redgrave, Matthew Pinsent and many others from
15 different sports.
