My Beautiful Game

Product Information

I am an independent online bookseller, based near Southampton, Hampshire in the South of England, with approximately 8,000 books - new, second hand, scarce, hard to find and out-of-print books – and have been in business for more than 19 years. He joined the Mail in 2014, initially through their trainee scheme, and has contributed extensively to their award-nominated Enough is Enough campaign concerning dementia in football. From her childhood in New York and Puglia in Italy and the accident which nearly killed her, to the successful career in commercial law and the passions that drive her on. Packed with facts about the history of football, the great disasters of the twentieth century and the black footballers who blazed a trail in the UK.

Football became a favourite pastime and, before long, they were creating all-female sides and playing public matches to sell-out crowds, overshadowing the men’s football. As both a former player and now a professional observer and commentator on the game, he knows all the key figures of the sport and has witnessed first-hand some of cricket's greatest moments.

Grey hardback(silver lettering to the spine) with Dj(a couple of small nicks,scratches and crease on the edges of the Dj cover),both in fine condition. It comes as a blessed relief when she finally meets Sven, newly arrived in Rome as manager of Lazio. Full of passion and energy, OBG brilliantly brings the Home Front to life, showing the challenges women faced on and off the pitch. As both a former player and now a professional observer and commentator on the game, he knows all the key figures of the sport and has witnessed first-hand some of cricket’s greatest moments.

Though no stranger to the front pages, for years she has maintained a dignified silence about personal matters - despite some quite extraordinary claims in the media. The book has been a ‘labour of love’ without doubt and I have spoken to some fabulous people about their memories and their history with Bobby, with regards to his careers at West Brom of course, Birmingham City, Sheffield Wednesday, Bromsgrove Rovers, Burton Albion, Scotland and not forgetting Bobby’s time ‘over the pond’ in the United States at Philadelphia Atoms and Dallas Tornado.Indeed, she likens it to the legend of King Arthur, 'whose queen, Guinevere, fell in love with Sir Lancelot. he is an elegant, enthusiastic observer of the game and this book, and indeed his life in cricket, deserves plaudits. He helped to lift English cricket out of the sporting gloom of the late 1990s; and now he has chronicled his era as if he were one of us. I thought the end of the story was both sad and uplifting, and I think that sums up the whole thing: there are moments of joy, and moments of tragedy, and Our Beautiful Game captures them all.

I noticed a look of shock mixed with desire, which came across as shy over-attentiveness verging on obsession'.
