The Little Book of Man City is bursting with wit and wisdom of the
great characters associated with the club. From managers, such as
Malcolm Allison, Kevin Keegan, Roberto Mancini and Pep Guardiola,
via garrulous fans such as Radio 1's Mark and Lard and the
Gallagher brothers to voluble players such as Francis Lee, Dennis
Tueart, Rodney Marsh, Kun Aguero and Vincent Kompany, here are more
than 165 funny and biting quotes for the avid fan of 'the only club
in Manchester'. As their chaplain once said, 'Imagine where City
would be if I hadn't been praying for them all these years'.

memorable moments from the club's rollercoaster past, mixing in a
maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce
an irresistibly dippable diary of Blues history - with an entry for
every day of the year. From the club's Victorian roots as a church
side right up to the Etihad era, City fans have witnessed Edwardian
scandal, league and cup triumphs and embarrassments, hard-fought
derbies and unforgettable European nights - all featured here.
Timeless greats such as Francis Lee and Georgi Kinkladze, Colin
Bell, Frank Swift and Billy Meredith all loom larger than life.
Revisit 11th May 1968, when City clinched the league title with a
4-3 win at Newcastle. 7th November 1987, when the Blues hit double
figures beating Huddersfield Town 10-1 at Maine Road. And 5th May
1956, when Bert Trautmann broke his neck in the Cup Final.

selection of last-day dramas, unforgettable derbies, relegation
deciders, European nights and Cup crackers. In all, a journey
through the highlights of City's history which is guaranteed to
make any fan's heart swell with pride.
Basil Rathbone is synonymous with Sherlock Holmes. He played the
Victorian sleuth in the fourteen Fox/Universal films of the 1930s
and '40s, as well as on stage and radio. For many people, he is the
Holmes. Basil Rathbone grew to hate Sherlock Holmes. The character
placed restrictions on his career: before Holmes he was an esteemed
theatre actor, appearing in Broadway plays such as The Captive and
The Swan, the latter of which became his launchpad to greater
stardom. But he never, ever escaped his most famous role. Basil
Rathbone was not Sherlock Holmes. In The Curse of Sherlock Holmes,
celebrated biographer David Clayton looks at the behind-the-camera
life of a remarkable man who deserved so much more than to be
relegated to just one role.
Wilfrid Brambell was one of Britain's most loved and complex
character actors. As Albert Ladysmith Steptoe, the unscrupulous
rag-and-bone man with questionable habits in Ray Galton and Alan
Simpson's long-running Steptoe & Son, he quickly became a
household name with co-star Harry H. Corbett. But despite scores of
other successes in roles on stage, TV and film, Brambell died a sad
and lonely man. Alongside fame and fortune, 'You Dirty Old Man!'
reveals how Brambell suffered unbelievable personal heartache,
battling an inner turmoil that eventually drove him to drink as his
marriage collapsed in the most deceitful circumstances imaginable.
His torment led to a secretive life off camera where he did
everything possible to stay out of the public eye. Featuring
original interviews with film directors Richard Lester, Terence
Davies and Tony Palmer, as well as recollections from his own
family members, the family of Harry H. Corbett and those who worked
alongside him, author David Clayton seeks to re-examine the legacy
of a man whose loyal fanbase remains undiminished sixty years on
from his heyday.
Joe knows there is something strange going on in Moon City but he
doesn't know what. Can he find out what is going on in the tunnels
below Moon City?
It's a tally that beggars belief - 340 goals in a single season.
Even more surprising is the fact few people can name the player
behind that record-breaking feat. Paul Moulden was a schoolboy
phenomenon. As star striker of the renowned Bolton Lads' Club, a
14-year-old Moulden smashed every goalscoring record as he netted
340 times in one incredible season - including 289 league goals in
39 matches. In doing so, he secured a place in The Guinness Book of
Records. Coveted by Sir Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough and other top
bosses and chased by every leading club in the land, Moulden chose
his boyhood heroes, Manchester City, and looked to have the world
at his feet. What happened next is hard to believe, as the grounded
and hugely talented goalscorer suffered almost every major injury
possible over the next decade. This is a story of extraordinary
talent and broken dreams, told bluntly but without bitterness. Paul
Moulden should have been a household name. This book might still
make that happen.

the Leicester City FC Miscellany is a book no self-respecting Foxes

endorsed book, with the Foreword written by manager Pep Guardiola,

years ago, the battle to emerge from the shadow of Manchester

Keeping a faithful prayer life with your family isn't easy. From
herding distracted children to managing the seemingly endless
litany of prayers and devotions, our spiritual life all too often
feels frantic and burdensome.
Communist China's integration into world diplomatic and trading
systems in the 1950s was troublesome: relations with British
governments and British business interests were no exception. The
book examines the origins of `Two Chinas', the impact of the Korean
War and focuses above all on British government policy towards
China. It argues that the most significant influence on government
policy was the relationship between the state and business elites;
a symbiotic relationship that coalesced around an imperial concern:
Hong Kong.
This is a unique and magnificent collection of photographs of
Manchester City FC from the early 1900s up until just before the
Millennium, selected from the Daily Mirror's extensive archive.
Capturing the very essence of this famous old club and its
supporters, When Football Was Football harks back to a bygone era
when life - and the game - seemed much simpler. From the club's
glory years and numerous cup triumphs, to kids on the street having
a knockabout outside Maine Road - this is a pictorial book like no
other, sprinkled with rarely-told stories and tales of how a small
amateur football club became one of the game's major powers. But
this isn't page after page of images you've seen a dozen times
before. This book is a rich tapestry of people, players and
experiences, good, bad or otherwise. In stark contrast to today's
carefully controlled environment top footballer's operate within,
there are pictures of the Blues' first team training on a wet car
park before the Manchester derby, Bert Trautmann signing an
autograph on a deserted London street and shots of the people who
really made this club - its magnificent supporters. Black and white
images from decades ago, glorious colour photos from the sixties
and seventies and beyond, this is a book every City fan simply must
own.
