Excerpt: Senior club appearances and goalscounted for the domestic league only.* Appearances (Goals) Jim Gabarra is a retired American soccer forward who currently coaches the Washington Freedom women’s soccer team. He played professionally in the American Soccer League, United Soccer League, American Indoor Soccer Association and Major Indoor Soccer League and Western Soccer Alliance. A native of Key West, Florida, Gabarra attended Connecticut College where he played soccer from 1978 to 1981. In 1989, Connecticut College inducted Gabarra into its Athletic Hall of Fame. After finishing college in the spring of 1982, Gabarra was signed by the Detroit Express of the American Soccer League (ASL). The Express won the ASL championship that season, defeating the Oklahoma City Slickers two games to one to take the title. However, both the Express and the ASL barely made it through the 1983 season before they both folded. Gabarra spent most of his time with the Express on the substitutes bench. In 1984, the United Soccer League (USL) attempted to replace the ASL as the de-facto U.S. second division. Gabarra moved to the USL where he joined the New York Nationals. The USL fared little better than the ASL and the Nationals folded at the end of the season. The league itself collapsed during its second season, but by that time Gabarra was establishing himself as an indoor star. In 1984, the Louisville Thunder of the newly established American Indoor Soccer Association (AISA) signed Gabarra. With the move to indoor soccer, Gabarra found his niche. That year he led the… More: |

Arise Sir David Beckham: The Biography of Britain’s Greatest Footballer $24.95 From the joyous screams of young girls to the chants of support from gruff-voiced soccer fans everywhere David Beckham goes, it is evident that he is famous both on and off the field, having reached iconic status across the world. Tracing the incredible accomplishments of this kind-hearted and talented star, this biography covers his early years playing for Manchester United’s first team at the age of 17, and the point at which he became a household name a few years later with a breathtaking goal against Wimbledon. Now, over a decade later, he is the fifth most-capped English player of all time and the only one to score in three different World Cups. Beckham’s achievements extend far beyond the soccer field—included here is his support for UNICEF since his early days at Manchester, his work as a goodwill ambassador for the charity, and the soccer academies he opened in Los Angeles and London. This inspiring story of an extremely talented and devoted man is a complete portrait of how English football’s golden boy—and new Major League Soccer Los Angeles Galaxy player—managed to take the world by storm. |

She managed to “have it all” — career, family, home — before having it all became fashionable (even if she did root for the wrong team at her sons’ soccer games — “We’re in the blue shirts, Mom”). She also managed to care for her aging mother, who developed Alzheimer’s and moved into the family home, completing Olympia’s three-generation family.In Ask Me Again Tomorrow, this internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles with addiction and her volatile personal relationships, and the efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve excellence in her professional calling. A story told with honesty, humor, and the sincere desire to be shared, Ask Me Again Tomorrow is more than acelebrity memoir — it’s a book that will endure.During a career that has spanned more than forty years, Olympia Dukakis has worked as an actress, director, producer, teacher, and activist. She received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the New York Film Critics Award, the Los |

Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground: An Autobiography $10.99 The Last Word on David BeckhamThere is only one David Beckham — and it’s not always the one you read about in the newspapers and magazines or see in the movies. From humble East End London beginnings, the boy with prodigious soccer skills grew up to be one of the most gifted athletes of his generation as well as a sex symbol and fashion icon. Along the way he married Spice Girl Victoria “Posh” Adams, and together they inhabit a celebrity whirlwind of Diana-esque proportions. In Both Feet on the Ground, David talks candidly about the perils of fame (his wife and son were the targets of a notorious kidnapping plot and he is the subject of almost daily tabloid rumors); the struggle to balance his roles as a devoted husband and besotted father with his globetrotting existence as an international soccer star; the behind-the-scenes stories of his most memorable and heartbreaking (if only he could retake that infamous penalty kick against Portugal in Euro 2004) career moments; the controversy surrounding his first year at Real Madrid after his $41 million transfer from Manchester United, the storied English team he joined as a teenager and led for more than a decade; and, finally, his love of America, where he plans to start a soccer school and perhaps, one day, even play professionally.Both Feet on the Ground is David Beckham’s own extraordinary story, told by the man who knows him best — David Beckham. |

Calgary Boomers Players: Paul Diamond $10.09 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: Thomas “Tom” Boric (born May 11, 1961) is a retired professional wrestler better known by his ring name Paul Diamond. He is best known for being one half of the tag team Badd Company with Pat Tanaka and for his time in the World Wrestling Federation as Kato, one half of The Orient Express also with Pat Tanaka. Before he was a professional wrestler, Boric was a professional soccer player. Boric was born in Yugoslavia (the region now known as Croatia) in 1961 and grew up wanting to follow in his fathers footsteps and become a soccer player. When Boric was 13 years old the family emigrated from Croatia to Canada, settling down in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Tom got a full soccer scholarship to Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. After only three semesters at college, Tom got drafted to play goalkeeper for the recently formed Calgary Boomers of the North American Soccer League. After the Boomers folded in 1981, Boric moved on to the Tampa Bay Rowdies whom he played for until the NASL closed in 1984. After his professional soccer career ended, Boric began training for a professional wrestling career at a Tampa Bay wrestling school run by Boris Malenko along with his two sons Joe Malenko and Dean Malenko who all had a hand in training him. After training, Boric began wrestling as “Paul Diamond” in 1985. His first break came in the Texas All-Star Wrestling promotion in San Antonio, Texas. He initially formed a tag team called American Breed with Nick Kiniski (son of legendary wrestler Gene Kiniski) in Fred Barend’s Texas All-Star Wrestling. Neither Diamond and Kiniski were actually American, (Diamond is Coatian/Canadian while Kiniski is Canadian) so the team name was quite ironic. The team won the TASW Tag Team Championship from the Maoris (Tudui… More: |

Annie keeps them in line at home with typed, edited, and proofed to-do and not-to-do lists for her husband, her babysitter, and her daughter. (No TV on a school night, please!) But when an obnoxious co-worker conspires to force Annie out of her job, she finds herself out of work and face-to-face with her family, who, it turns out, isn’t quite as well-adjusted as Annie thought. Husband Tim doesn’t have near the follow-through that Annie does (ordered to downsize his employees, he can’t fire anybody!) And daughter Charlotte doesn’t even try to make the local soccer team – a cut-throat, take-no-prisoners system run by Winslow West, a man who dreams of the Olympic gold his young charges will someday win for him.Here Annie is unemployed and Charlotte’s the one with the quitting attitude? Annie doesn’t think so. She’s determined to get Charlotte on the A team, but finds that the soccer sidelines are more cutthroat than a boardroom ever was. |

While navigating this legacy of suspicion and violence, they must decide what their own roles in the stalemate will be. |

In Both Feet on the Ground, David talks candidly about the perils of fame (his wife and son were the targets of a notorious kidnapping plot and he is the subject of almost daily tabloid rumors); the struggle to balance his roles as a devoted husband and besotted father with his globetrotting existence as an international soccer star; the behind-the-scenes stories of his most memorable and heartbreaking (if only he could retake that infamous penalty kick against Portugal in Euro 2004) career moments; the controversy surrounding his first year at Real Madrid after his $41 million transfer from Manchester United, the storied English team he joined as a teenager and led for more than a decade; and, finally, his love of America, where he plans to start a soccer school and perhaps, one day, even play professionally. Both Feet on the Ground is David Beckham’s own extraordinary story, told by the man who knows him best — David Beckham. |

Everything They Had: Sports Writing from David Halberstam $24.95 What made David Halberstam a great sportswriter, indeed a great writer, was perhaps best expressed in what he called his “backup catcher theory”: “Most other people doing a book want the top guy. My belief is, you probably learn more from the backup catcher on a baseball team than from the star. Because the backup catcher’s smart. He watches the game, he’s into the game, he always has to be read, and when it’s over, twenty years later, he has a lot of time to talk because not a lot of other people come to see him.” In this posthumous collection of his sports pieces, the author of The Best and The Brightest, The Coldest Winter, and Breaks of the Game writes about baseball, football, basketball, soccer, fishing, and the Olympics. |

Finding the Perfect Wave $23.99 Alli…there’s been an accident.’ Her voice grew silent. ‘What?’ I began to hear sobbing coming from the other end of the line. A sick feeling overtook my whole body. The fear of what I was about to hear became a stronger reality with each of Sara’s sobs. ‘There was a really bad car accident, and Alli…’ She paused and began to cry louder. ‘H-He’s…gone. He’s dead.’ Seventeen-year-old Alli Whitton’s life just can’t get any better. She’s one of the best surfers in Huntington Beach, spending every day side by side with her boyfriend, Todd, and just days away from entering the halls of her senior year in high school. Then her dad is transferred miles away from her beloved ocean to the middle of the sweltering Arizona desert, and Alli’s perfect life is threatened. It takes an uphill turn, however, when she meets Jake, the school’s handsome soccer star, whose sandy blond hair and sharp green eyes remind her how to smile once again. All she needs to do is make it ten long months; then she’s free to return to California. But when an unthinkable tragedy occurs, Alli is forced into mourning the loss of a dear loved one, leaving her suffering through the grieving process in a new school with none of her best friends to comfort her. Cheri Miklich’s Finding the Perfect Wave is a romantic coming-of-age drama where readers will learn, along with Alli, to smile and laugh even amidst life’s darkest hours. A new romance blooms, hope and faith fight to prevail, and a strong realization of passion for her dreams surfaces as she discovers who she is meant to be. Join Alli as she enters the waters of life and seeks to find the perfect wave! |

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: |

Further Adventures of a Grumpy Old Rock Star $36.95 What do Postman Pat, Tommy Cooper, Norman Wisdom, and George Best have in common with being abandoned in a Costa Rican jungle after a severe bout of flatulence? Indeed how are they connected to trying to buy an Australian brewery just to get a beer, owning twenty-two cars, an American soccer team, and Swiss mail-order pornography? I suppose we have to come clean and volunteer the name of a certain keyboard genius called Mr. Richard Wakeman. That said, you’ll then not be surprised that this second volume of wondrous stories elaborates on violinists falling out of trees, being mauled on live TV by a German shepherd, playing golf with kangaroos, amputations sound-tracked by prog rock classics, a concert played to a solitary canine, and signing autographs on the toilet. The Further Adventures of a Grumpy Old Rock Star takes you, oh privileged reader, on a trip of absurd excess, a cultural car crash of side-splitting hilarity, and an unforgettable glimpse into the life of one of Britain’s most legendary showmen, rock stars, and all-time great raconteurs. |

GIMP: When Life Deals You a Crappy Hand, You Can Fold–or You Can Play $0.01 College soccer star Mark Zupan had been out drinking one night and had passed out in the back of his best friend’s pickup truck when his friend got in the driver’s seat, decided to take the truck for a spin, and accidentally crashed it. Thrown into a canal and stuck in frigid water for fourteen hours, Mark was finally rescued and learned soon after that he’d broken his neck. He’d most likely be a quadriplegic and spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, doctors told him. At first Mark’s only goal was to walk again. When that proved impossible, he fell into the depths of anger and despair, retreating from the world and the people closest to him. But love, friendship, and a new sport, quad rugby (a.k.a. “murderball”), helped Mark create a new existence that’s truly exceptional. Gimp, the no-holds-barred memoir of a Paralympic athlete and the star of the Academy Award–nominated documentary Murderball, is an inspiring, defiant, and revealing celebration of spirit and will that confounds readers’ prejudices by offering proof that a guy in a chair can still do amazing things: have sex with his girlfriend, party with his friends . . . even crowd-surf at Pearl Jam shows. |

Gracie $6.99 The only tie-in book to the summer family movie about a 16-year-old girl who fought for and won the right for girls everywhere to play competitive soccer, inspired by one family’s real story. Set in 1978 in South Orange, New Jersey, Gracie tells the moving story of 16-year-old Gracie Bowen (Carly Schroeder of TV’s Lizzie McGuire), whose middle-class family life revolves almost entirely around soccer. Tragedy unexpectedly strikes when Gracie’s older brother, star of the high school varsity team and her closest confidant, is killed in a drunk-driving accident. Wracked with grief over her family’s loss, Gracie decides to fill the void left on her brother’s team by petitioning the local school board to allow her to play in the boys’ soccer league. At first, no one can understand what Gracie is up to, not her mom (Elisabeth Shue), her former soccer star dad (Dermot Mulroney), the team or school officials. Everyone warns Gracie that pursuing her dream is a waste of time—that soccer is a sport for boys and boys only. Undeterred, Gracie finds reserves of strength she never knew existed, and persists in changing everyone’s beliefs in what she is capable of, including her own. Based on true events in the lives of the Shue family (producer and co-star Andrew Shue, Academy Award®-nominated actress Elisabeth Shue and their family), Gracie is an exciting and emotional sports story that marks the dramatic feature debut of Academy Award®-winning director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth). This young adult novel includes an eight-page color photo section and a Q&A with Andrew Shue and Elisabeth Shue about the real-life story behind the film. 8-page color photo insert. |

I Did (but I Wouldn’t Now) $0.01 * * * * Are you ready to rock? Lily Crandell has always lived in the shadow of her older sister, Lauren, who has a successful career as a wedding planner and a perfect husband and baby boy. Known within her family for being an aimless, impulsive trouble-magnet, Lily finally decides she may as well live up to her reputation: she elopes with new beau and would-be rock star Ted Dayton. But just as quickly as his band skyrockets, Lily’s marriage crashes and burns. When news of her ex’s new love with sultry and silicone-enhanced actress Melanie Slate hits the tabloids, she flees the country. Hello, London! Across the pond, Lily shares a flat with an old flame — a commitment-phobic doctor who convinces her that the best prescription for her broken heart is volunteering at the local hospital. Turns out, he’s right, as one of the patients, famed soccer star Sean Gates, takes more than a passing interest in Lily’s quirky style. But things get complicated when her ex’s band starts flying up the British charts. Ted comes to town, the paparazzi camp on her doorstep, and her new fling and old flame both find rumors that Lily and her ex are planning a little reunion tour rather troublesome. Is there a happily ever after at the end of this rocky road? |
