Eamonn O'Keefe

"Many of today's footballers live their lives like Hollywood film stars. The story of Eamonn O'Keefe's life could be the script of a Hollywood film but there would be only one problem-nobody would believe it was a true story! I can assure you it is. You couldn't make it up if you tried!" -Howard Wilkinson, Ex-England Manager and current Chairman of the League Managers Association. - "I first met Eamonn when we played together for the Republic of Ireland. His football exploits around the world were common knowledge within football circles-but were not well-documented publicly. It should be a great read!-Good luck with it, Eamonn." - Frank Stapleton, former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland International player. "I grew up in Blackley, North Manchester in England, in a family of nine. There was Gran, Mam, Dad and six children.

The Beautiful Game evokes passion on the scale of religious fanaticism, and this book oozes the essence of football club loyalty and hero worship, captures and replays breathtaking and memorable goals, and bears witness to dastardly fouls and controversial send-offs. It's also a celebration of football ephemera-colorful scarves, treasured programs, proudly worn rosettes-that identify teams and supporters. Archive photographs present a gallery of the game's best-loved players, iconic managers, and the fervour of their adorning fans. 50 Years of Football in Focus is a fascinating, quirky, idiosyncratic, and intimate snapshot of the past fifty years of British football, selected from the Offside Sports Photography collection by a leading sports photographer.

First published in 2005 to celebrate the golden anniversary of European football's grandest competition, "50 Years of the European Cup and Champions League" covers every season's competition with a full report and statistical summary of the Final. Each decade, from the 1950s to the 2000s, will be the subject of an individual section and there will be a specially commissioned interview with a legend from that era. Bringing the vibrant text to life are 275 evocative photographs and the book is complemented by a full statistical section, including every result and major record-holder, club and individual. Fully updated, this book follows the competition through to its final in Athens in May 2007. Формат: 23,5 см x 29 cм.

George R. Mills

Book DescriptionRecruited for his combination of size and speed, George Mills had the potential to become an outstanding college football player--but it never happened. A View from the Bench reveals the reality behind the glamour of college football and the tough experiences in the life of a benchwarmer. Mills was a solid player who loved the game, but he had only one shot in nearly five years at making Nebraska's starting team. He found little time or energy left for academics after hours ofdrills, weight lifting, and team meetings. Now, with complete candor, Mills lays bare the true weight of emphasis in the "student-athlete" dichotomy. Free from anger or malice, Mills tells of his struggle to come to terms with a sports career of "mediocrity." A View from the Bench is an honest reflection of the experiences of so many overlooked players. It will be meaningful to anyone who has watched or played competitive sports.
