Ally McCoist: Portrait of a Hero $15.95 A schoolboy prodigy, it was always clear that McCoist was destined for top flight soccer. At just 16 he signed his first professional contract with St. Johnstone, shooting to prominence in the 1980/81 season, scoring 22 league goals and playing a starrring role for the Scottish youth team. He was soon hot property. After two years of mixed fortunes at Sunderland, McCoist returned to Scotland and signed for his boyhood heroes Glasgow Rangers. Over the next 15 years, he established himself as arguably the greatest goal-scorer ever to play for the club. He not only gave heart and soul for Rangers but was also capped 61 times for Scotland. This authoritative and affectionate portrait of this much-loved sportsman charts the highs and lows of a fascinating career, culminating in McCoist reaching legendary status. It also looks at the events that helped to shape his life—overcoming homesickness when first playing for an English club, the effects his parents’ separation had on him, and how he coped when his young son had to undergo several life-saving operations. Having hung up his books, Ally’s vibrant personality made him a natural for the television screen. Now, however, he has come full circle and returned “home” to be assistant manager at his beloved Rangers. This wonderful book is a must-read for any soccer fan or indeed for anyone captivated by this larger-than-life character. |

After Kraay, Timo Liekoski took over as coach in 1981, while Patrone would serve as the team’s final caretaker coach until the team folded at the end of the 1982 season. During the outdoor season, the Drillers played their home games at Commonwealth Stadium, but dwindling crowds during the final year saw the team move to much older and smaller Clarke Stadium, which lead to even less fans attending the games. |

Chapters: Antonio Cabrini, Giuseppe Papadopulo, Guido Carboni, Gian Piero Gasperini, Elio Gustinetti, Francesco Moriero, Antonello Cuccureddu. Excerpt: Antonio Cabrini (born 8 October 1957) is an Italian football (soccer) coach and former player. He played left-back, mainly with Juventus. He won the 1982 FIFA World Cup with the Italian national team. Cabrini was arguably one of the greatest Italian left-backs in the history of football. In 2007, he was very close to become the manager of the Syrian national football team. After long-running negotiations between the Syrian Football Federation and the Syrian national team sponsors, no agreement was achieved between the sides. Currently, he is part of Al Jazeera Sports channel analysts team that covers the Serie A football matches. Cabrini was born in Cremona, Lombardy. He made his debut in professional football with the local team U.S. Cremonese in the Serie C during the 1973-74 season, totaling 3 presences and gaining a starter place for the following 1974-1975 season. In the 1975-76 season he played in Serie B for Atalanta, and in the summer of 1976 he was acquired by Juventus, the team for which he was to spend most of his career. With Juventus, he won six times the Italian Serie A, two times the Coppa Italia (Italian Cup), one Italian Super Cup, one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup and one European/South American Cup. He played a total of 352 Serie A matches, scoring 35 goals. In 1989, after 13 successful seasons with Juve, he moved to play for Bologna for two more years before retiring as a player. Cabrini was nicknamed Bell’Antonio (“beautiful Antonio”), because of his popularity as a fascinating and good-looking football player. On the field, his technical and physical qualities made of him o… More: |

Excerpt: Phoenix from the Flames was a regular feature on the BBC/ITV show Fantasy Football League, which involved presenters David Baddiel and Frank Skinner recreating a famous moment from footballing history with one of the people involved at the time. Up the last episode of the programme, on July 3, 2004, the number of recreations had reached 84. The Loveday-King sketch (No. 68) of Fantasy World Cup was broadcast in the final programme of that series. When Fantasy Euro 2004 started, the first sketch involving David Seaman had the caption “72″ on it, and all following sketches went on from that. It’s unclear whether more sketches were broadcast in the years before, or if the makers of the programme simply got their figures wrong. The following have all been the subject of Phoenixes but the numbers in what they appeared are not known by this author. A sketch in this made-for-video special involved a NASA astronaut entering David and Frank’s flat asking for fourteen Phoenix’s to make up part of a football time capsule to shoot into space to educate extraterrestrial life forms of the game. After finding only thirteen (numbers 1, 5, 9, 2, 14, 21, 3, 10, 6, 19, 11, 15 and 20, in that order) the astronaut revealed himself to be Dave Beasant – they then went o… More: |

History of Italian Football (Soccer): 2006 Italian Football Scandal, Nazio-Juve, Blocco-Juve, Turone’s Goal $9.05 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The 2006 Italian football scandal (Italian: Calciopoli, Farsopoli or Moggiopoli , sometimes referred to as Calciocaos) involved Italy’s top professional football leagues, Serie A and Serie B. The scandal was uncovered in May 2006 by Italian police, implicating league champions Juventus, and other major teams including, Internazionale Milan, Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio, and Reggina when a number of telephone interceptions showed a thick network of relations between team managers and referee organisations. Juventus were the champions of Serie A at the time. The teams have been accused of rigging games by selecting favourable referees. The scandal first came to light as a consequence of investigations of Naples prosecutors on the Italian football agency GEA World. Transcripts of recorded telephone conversations published in Italian newspapers suggested that during the 2004-05 season, Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi had conversations with several officials of Italian football to influence referee appointment. The name Calciopoli is a pun on Tangentopoli, , a corruption-based attitude starting in the early 80s and ending with the Mani Pulite investigation in the early 90s. Another very common name for Calciopoli is Moggiopoli after the name of Luciano Moggi. Also Calciogate, a pun on Watergate, is used. “Calcio” means football in Italian. On 4 July 2006, the Italian Football Federation’s prosecutor, Stefano Palazzi, called for all four clubs at the centre of the match-fixing scandal to be thrown out of Serie A. Palazzi called for Juventus to drop to at least Serie C1 (his statement read that Juventus should be sent “lower than Serie B”, without a specific division stated) and for Fiorentina and Lazio to at least Serie B. He also asked for poi… More: |

Excerpt: Peter Tim Verbeek (born March 12, 1956 in Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland), more commonly known as Pim Verbeek is a Dutch football manager who is the head coach of the Australia national football (soccer) team. His brother Robert Verbeek is also a football coach. As a player, he spent his career in the Netherlands mostly with Sparta Rotterdam. He also played with NAC Breda and Roda JC. Verbeek was the assistant coach of the South Korea national football team under Guus Hiddink during the 2002 FIFA World Cup and also under Dick Advocaat during the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The Korea Football Association signed him to a coaching contract on June 26, 2006 until 2008. Verbeek led Korea to a third-place finish at the 2007 AFC Asian Cup, guaranteeing them an automatic berth in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup tournament.

Manchester United – Man and Babe $27.95 The rich history of Manchester United has never thrown up a more colorful character than Wilf McGuinness. There is virtually no emotion that he hasn’t experienced during a lifetime in the game. Wilf has: played for his beloved United and his country at every level; won a championship medal with the Red Devils; suffered a cruel injury which cut short his career at the chronically premature age of 22; succeeded Sir Matt Busby as manager of Manchester United—and been sacked by the club to which he was so passionately devoted; lost all his hair, probably as a result of the shock of his demoralizing dismissal; played a key role in England’s 1966 World Cup glory under Sir Alf Ramsey; and, coached at York, Hull and Bury, and in soccer outposts around the world—all without losing his exuberant outlook on life in general and football in particular. As Sir Alex Ferguson said: “There is never a dull moment with Wilf. There is no more cheerful man in football!” One of the original Busby Babes, Wilf grew up alongside the likes of Duncan Edwards and Bobby Charlton, and but for injury would have been aboard the plane which crashed at Munich, killing 23 people including eight of his team-mates and friends. Now for the first time he tells the full story of his incident-packed lifetime in the game, revealing the joy and the injustice, the sorrow and the controversy. Man and Babe is a moving tale of excitement, anguish, and redemption, with humor never very far from the surface. It includes more than 100 photographs from Wilf’s personal collection, including the pre-Munich crash Busby Babes and exclusive pictures of Posh & Becks at the party to celebrate United’s 1999 treble! |

Mr Unbelievable $8.99 Over the past decade, football results program Soccer Saturday has become a television phenomenon, delivering goals and drama via a raft of ex-professional players positioned in TV studios and on precarious gangplanks in rusting stadiums around the country. At the heart of this success is free-wheeling pundit and roving reporter extraordinaire, Chris “Kammy” Kamara, the former footballer-turned-manager-turned-cult hero who has astounded and dumbfounded a legion of armchair fans with his crackpot catchphrases, hyperactive reporting style and Lionel Richie haircut. Mr Unbelievable is his rags to riches tale. As a player, Kammy trawled football’s outposts with the likes of Bradford City, Stoke City, and Portsmouth where he suffered the slings, arrows, and hurled bananas of racial abuse. Later, during the autumn of his career, he played in Howard Wilkinson’s swashbuckling Leeds team where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Eric Cantona. On hanging up his boots, he moved into the dugouts at Bradford and Stoke as manager before joining the Sky football revolution as roving reporter on Soccer Saturday and Goal On Sunday’s eagle-eyed analyst, amassing a raft of catchphrases along the way. Mr Unbelievable is a hugely entertaining, moving, shocking, and laugh out loud funny story of a genuine cult hero. |

Excerpt: Anthony Buttimer (known as the “Jersey Referee”) is an Irish FIFA-level soccer referee from Cork. An experienced League of Ireland official, he took charge of the 2008 FAI Cup Final in the RDS, Dublin. Buttimer earned his nickname after a number of colourful incidents preceding and during FAI eircom League matches involving various team kits, one incident of which led to legal threats by the kit supplier of Sligo Rovers. He is one of the most hated referees in Irish football and is widely regarded by many fans as incompetent and regularly has to be provided with additional security at games. He is currently rumoured to be under investigation by the FAI due to the number of complaints received in season 2009 from supporters,managers and the media and may be been cited as a result. Buttimer regularly referees matches in the League of Ireland where he has been accused of being “the main attraction of the night” by Sligo Rovers manager Paul Cook. In the past he has been dispatched to referee local derbies including the Connacht Derby contested between Sligo Rovers and Galway United in August 2007.. Buttimer is best known for having difficulties determining the colours of team kits and managerial suits. At Oriel Park on 23 September 2007, he almost postponed Dundalk’s league game against Shelbourne after taking issue with the colour of the goalkeeper’s jerseys. Buttimer was said to be “unsatisfied” with four colours provided by Dundalk – blue, black, yellow and grey all causing some unspecified problem or other. A Shelbourne director left the ground to search for an alternative kit in the local Lifestyle Sports, as managers John Gill and Dermot Keely told the referee they were on the verge of “going for a pint”.

Robinho: King of the City $24.95 Born in a poor neighborhood of Sao Vicente, Brazil, in 1984, the young Robinho began playing soccer almost as soon as he could walk. At the age of six, he helped his local soccer academy team to win the championship in his first year, and at eight, he moved on to the indoor game known as futsal. Quickly snapped up by Brazilian club Santos, he signed professional forms at 17. His form brought him to the attention of top European clubs, but he would have to wait until 2005 for a move to giants Real Madrid. Robinho scored 14 goals in his first season in La Liga, but differences with the manager saw him spend most of 2006–7 on the bench. He fought his way back into the starting 11 and soon was the subject of intense transfer speculation, with Chelsea rumored to be on the brink of securing his signature. An incredible last-minute swoop by Manchester City stunned fans and commentators alike, and he scored his first Premier League goal on his debut just two weeks later. Robinho’s style and Brazilian flair have reinvigorated the Manchester City side, and his goals have been invaluable to Mark Hughes’s team. |

Sunderland: A Club Transformed $0.99 After just a handful of matches in 2006, it seemed clear that Sunderland, a town and a soccer club in England’s northeast, was going down, ready to drop into a lower-level league. Then, with just ten games to go, the board dismissed the manager, and the stage was set for a miracle. “Returning messiah” Niall Quinn took over, and appointed Roy Keane as manager: under his stewardship, Sunderland made an astonishing turnaround. Jonathan Wilson, an acclaimed author and Sunderland native, tells the tale of this meteoric rise with wit, intelligence, and insight. He received unrestricted behind the scenes access, and offers the kind of in-depth analysis that only the very best sports reporters can do. It is a soccer story as dramatic as any in recent years. |

Max Arthur has sought out all the players who survived the crash and spoken to the relatives and friends of those who died. From these interviews, sometimes serious but often humorous, he has captured their remarkable spirit and created a unique portrait of all the Busby Babes. |

Woodridge Wanderers: The Birth and Death of a Soccer Team $3.99 In this hilarious satirical fantasy a travelling circus has a gruesome road accident in which the owner and ringmaster receives a head injury that ends his career when he can no longer wear a ringmaster’s hat. Wanting to stay in the entertainment industry, he applies for and gets the position of Manager of Woodridge Wanderers, the local professional soccer team.He gets rid of all the existing players and installs his circus performers in their place, even though none had previously played competitive soccer. The performers quickly showed they posessed unique skills that lent themselves well to the game. For example, the ape trainer became a superb goalkeeper, diverting shots while swinging one-handed from the crossbar, munching bananas; and the two-headed man was irresistible when the ball was in the air. In some cases the injuries the performers had sustained provided an advantage. The tall man had lost a foot, receiving a gorilla’s foot as replacement, but one leg was now substantially shorter than the other producing an ability to turn very quickly.The unlikely group became the best soccer team in England and were universally admired but their home stadium in Woodridge was always half empty. Until one day, one of the players was evaporated in the middle of a game by what appeared to be a nuclear missile. This was a turning point for the team as the locals began to take notice. But the bizarre deaths had to continue to sustain the interest.The book follows the exploits of the team and whoever was determined to kill them off; the comical efforts of the police to find the murderer(s); the press campaign against the latest escalation in soccer crowd violence; and the socialchanges occurring in Woodridge as a result of the town’s new-found fame. |
