On the 11th May 1991, Leicester City beat Oxford United to avoid
relegation to the third tier of English football. Off the field,
the crumbling Main Stand did not meet the requirements of theTaylor
Report and the Club was leaking money, something needed to change!
And something did change! The appointments of Brian Little as the
Team Manager, and Barrie Pierpoint as the Club's first Director of
Marketing was the catalyst to one of the most remarkable
transformations in English football history. Over the next nine
years, Leicester City established themselves as a top Premier
League side, won major honours, competed in Europe for the first
time in almost thirty years and the loyal Blue Army enjoyed seven
trips to Wembley. Off the field, City became market leaders for
innovation; Fox Leisure, Family Night Football and the birth of
Filbert Fox were some of the initiatives that Barrie and his
progressive team introduced. The construction of the
state-of-the-art Carling Stand and flotation on the Stock Exchange
provided the Club with a much needed injection of cash. Featuring
contributions from over forty people, from directors, staff, fans
and journalists to corporate clients, team managers and players,
including Steve Walsh, Emile Heskey, Simon Grayson, Gary Mills and
Tony Cottee - this book chronicles the journey of a struggling
football club to one of the best teams in England, told by those
who were there and were pivotal to the Club's success. In full
colour, including photographs throughout, this book will take you
on a nostalgic trip through a glorious period in Leicester City's
history.

Ian Little, a young musical novice, lucked into minding Roxy
Music's studio while the band were on the road. By the time they
returned, he had a record contract and was promoted to production
assistant for their swansong Avalon. And that's just the beginning.
Duran Duran had ambitions to become the biggest band in the world,
and chose Ian to produce the album that made it happen. Travel with
Ian and the band to Sri Lanka, the south of France, New York,
Monserrat and Sydney, to create Seven And The Ragged Tiger, one of
the defining albums of the 1980s. This remarkable book, with a
foreword by Hazel O'Connor, tells the story of a meteoric rise,
making a massive hit album under pressure (encountering Bowie,
Dylan, McCartney and other legends along the way), a
too-much-too-soon spiral into addiction and homelessness in the
years that followed, the fight to get life back on track, and the
spiritual growth along the way.

Young Eddie Wilson was a footballer on the threshold of a
professional career with a prominent club. Then came the Great War
of 1914-1918. Once called up into the Army he was sent without
completing his training into the frontline in Belgium. There he was
subjected to the horrors of trench warfare at Passchendaele. Within
a very short space of time nearly all the friends and comrades that
he had gone to the Front with had either been killed or injured.
Dazed and confused he wandered away from the action having had a
breakdown. Eventually a young, attractive French widow took him
into her home. She nursed him back to health over the next year or
so until he was captured in Calais by a Military Policeman, Frank
Shipley. The two men travelled back to Belgium for the Court
Martial and during this eventful journey they formed a friendship
that was to have a great significance more than 75 years later.
Many of Eddie's friends and supporters thought him more hero than
coward. The outcome of his Court Martial was to depend on crucial
evidence relating to his state of mind and, more importantly,
likely confirmation of his previous heroism awaited from England.
The story deals with the highly emotive aspect of the ordeal of the
ordinary soldier and the wanton waste of young lives together with
the effects of the harsh discipline of the Army.
All seven episodes of the second series of the HBO sitcom
executive-produced by Will Ferrell. Once a Major League baseball
player, Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) used to have it all: fame,
endorsements and a lucrative contract. Now, since hard living took
its toll on his game, Kenny finds himself struggling to resurrect
his career. In this series, Kenny makes his way to Mexico to see if
he can become a star over there. Along the way he meets baseball
team owner Sebastian Cisneros (Michael Peņa) and a new love
interest, Vida (Ana de la Reguera).
The 60s saw great change from the latter stages of the austere
post-war years, through the years of "you've never had it so good"
to pop music, long hair and free love. National Service went, the
death penalty went, Man went to the moon, the birth pill arrived to
liberate women and much, much more...Throughout all this, the post
war baby boomers flourished into teenagers and were to enjoy this
changing world. Despite these changes some things stayed the same.
School discipline was as rigid as ever - school uniforms remained
as ornate as before - parents never had much money - not many
families had a car - some had no TV. Teenagers then as now had to
cope with the various aspects of puberty, getting to know the
opposite sex (always an embarrassing prelude to adulthood!), sit
examinations at least twice a year and then decide whether to go on
to further education or get a job? They had to walk or cycle
everywhere, rarely left the country and had no money but through
all of this there were friendships formed that have lasted a
lifetime. The eleven year olds of 1960 are now in their dotage but
when they went off to secondary school in 1960 little did they know
what fun they would have and it certainly was, for most at least,
the time of their lives. When they meet now stories are swapped and
re-told and seem funny to this day. There were disappointments and
even tragedies along the way but it was a defining time for all. In
"Days We'll Remember All Our Lives" these stories have been brought
together to show the often hilarious escapades of a group of baby
boomers through their teenage years both in and out of school.
