From the hosts of the popular podcast and tv show Men in Blazers,
comes their completely scientific, 100% definitive,
defend-to-the-death list of the greatest soccer players of all
time. Every fan has their own list of the 100 soccer players they
consider the greatest ever to play the game. A list based on
triumphs, sublime moments of skill, superhuman tenacity, and
telenovela-esque backstories. To the list-maker, that 100 feels
objective. Unequivocal. An absolute truth. This is one such list.
Written with the same signature Men in Blazers humor found in their
New York Times bestseller Encyclopedia Blazertannica, and
accompanied by Nate Kitch's iconic photographic illustrations, Men
in Blazers share the stories of household names like David Beckham
and Alex Morgan, along with cult icons such as Garrincha, the
Brazilian star of the 1960s who was born with one leg six inches
shorter than the other, and Briana Scurry, a trailblazer who paved
a path for young Black soccer-playing women. Page by page, you will
revel in the depictions of players you adore, discover tales you
have never heard, and experience vivid stories of dreams, loyalty,
perseverance, creativity, and luck. Together, they form an
alternative telling of the history of soccer, tracing the evolution
of the men's and women's games around the globe, one unlikely,
unbelievable, unforgettable career at a time. Thanks to the
transcendent career arcs depicted within, Gods of Soccer is rife
with tales that will make readers' hearts soar. Encourage them to
dream. And then quickly rush off to make their own lists. FOR

Arts, heritage, non-profit and social marketing today comprise key
components of the contemporary marketing management scene.
Governments, charities and voluntary sector organisations
throughout the world are increasingly involved in the development
of marketing campaigns, and more and more of these organisations
are likely to be at the cutting edge of the application of the very
latest marketing methods. Research in the arts, heritage,
non-profit and social marketing fields is intellectually rigorous,
relevant for user communities, and has a great deal to offer to
marketing theory as well as to promotional practice. This book
presents a collection of stimulating articles that report some of
the freshest and most innovative research and thinking in the
authors' specialist domains. Collectively the chapters offer a
balance of empirical and conceptual research in arts, heritage,
non-profit and social marketing. They explore new ideas, challenge
pre-existing orthodoxies, develop knowledge, and demonstrate the
epistemological importance of current research in these critical
areas. This book was originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Marketing Management.

The #1 New York Times Bestseller One-half of the celebrated Men in
Blazers duo, longtime culture and soccer commentator Roger Bennett
traces the origins of his love affair with America, and how he went
from a depraved, pimply faced Jewish boy in 1980's Liverpool to
become the quintessential Englishman in New York. A memoir for fans
of Jon Ronson and Chuck Klosterman, but with Roger Bennett's
signature pop culture flair and humor. Being a teenager isn't easy,
no matter where in the world you live or how much it does or
doesn't rain in your hometown. As an outsider-a private-schooled
Jewish kid in working-class, heavily Catholic Liverpool-Roger
Bennett wasn't winning any popu larity contests. But there was one
idea, or ideal, that burned bright in Roger's heart. That was
America- with its sunny skies, beautiful women, and cool kids with
flipped collars who ate at McDonald's. When he embraced American
popular culture, the dull gray world he lived in turned to neon
teal-a color which had not even been invented in England yet. Intro
duced first through the gateway drug of The Love Boat, then to
Rolling Stone, the NFL, John Hughes movies, Run-DMC, and Tracy
Chapman, Roger embraced everything that would capture the
imagination of a teenager growing up Stateside. When he made a
real, in-the-flesh American friend who invited him over for the
summer, he got to visit the promised land. A month in Chicago, and
a life-changing night spent in the company of the Chicago Bears,
was the first hit of freedom, of independence, of the Roger Bennett
he knew he could be. (Re)Born in the USA captures the universality
of growing pains, growing up, and growing out of where you come
from. Drenched in the culture of the late '80s and '90s from the UK
and the USA, and the heartfelt, hilarious sense of humor that has
made Roger Bennett so beloved by his listeners, here is both a
truly unique coming-of-age story and the love letter to America
that the country needs right now.
