The Unbelievables

Autor: David Bevan

Número de Páginas: 290

At the beginning of April 2015, newly-promoted Leicester City were seven points adrift at the foot of the Premier League. What happened next was truly extraordinary. Not only did Leicester pull off one of the great escapes to survive in the top flight but they continued their form into the following season. The manager who orchestrated Leicester’s promotion and survival, Nigel Pearson, had left the club by then, replaced by the former Chelsea, Juventus and Roma manager Claudio Ranieri. The press gave “the Tinkerman” no hope of staying the course and the bookies installed Leicester as one of the favourites to be relegated. They were priced at 5,000/1 to win the Premier League. With four games remaining, they stand on the edge of history. The season would make stars of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. In November, Vardy broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record by scoring in eleven consecutive Premier League games. Mahrez’s goals and assists, including magnificent solo goals against ChelseaandManchester City, made him favourite to win the PFA Footballer of the Year award. If Arsenal’s unbeaten season in 2003/04 saw their team dubbed the Invincibles, then Leicester’s exploits in...

As Liverpool F.C. reach their 125th anniversary, amidst the celebrations, doubts persist. Are they still elite? Can their prolonged title drought be ended? Foreign owners say they came to win but the trophy cabinet lies bare. Where to next for the reds? Lost? explores the gloried past, the moneyed present and the uncertain future of both Liverpool F.C. and the English game at large. Have they lost their way? Liverpool F.C.’s most famous manager, Bill Shankly, declared that the club ‘exists to win trophies’ and for many years this maxim proved true, as Liverpool became one of the most successful clubs in European football and dominated the scene in England for over two decades. Yet recently, the victories have dried up and Liverpool have not won the league title in over a quarter of a century. Football is also in a state of flux as major TV deals have made the Premier league the wealthiest in the world, but the gap between the elite clubs and those striving to catch up widens. Has the game lost it’s soul? Who will rise and who will fall as a new uncharted era in football unfolds? Lost? captures exclusive interviews with key figures including former Liverpool managers,...

El primer libro de Panenka con La Media Inglesa. Maidstone United siempre ha sido un equipo diferente, y nunca por una buena razón. Nadie ha sufrido una caída tan pronunciada en el fútbol inglés: del profesionalismo a jugar en parques públicos. Ningún otro ha pasado décadas exiliado de su ciudad y sin estadio propio. Su humilde historia cautivó a Nacho González, pero no fue hasta que conoció por casualidad a Sam Bone, su centrocampista titular, que el autor viajó allí para hacerla suya. Este libro cuenta cómo un club que sobrevivió a traidores, estafadores y hasta a criminales en los peores campos del Reino Unido protagonizó en 2024, junto a unos aficionados irreductibles y unos futbolistas que jamás serán millonarios, una de las mayores hazañas que se recuerdan en la FA Cup, el torneo más antiguo del fútbol. Es posible que nunca hayas visto un partido del Maidstone. Pero, después de conocer su aventura, no olvidarás lo que lograron.

The Sunday Times Bestseller and Number 1 Sport Book of 2016 'A tale that's truly inspirational' The Sun An ordinary lad from Sheffield, Jamie Vardy has become known as an against-the-odds footballing hero the world over. Yet a few years ago, things couldn’t have been any more different. Rejected as a teenager by his boyhood club, Jamie thought his chance was gone. But from playing pub football and earning £30 a week at Stocksbridge Park Steels, while still working in a factory, his off-the-cuff performances saw him rise. Jamie had a wild and turbulent youth, but football became his saving grace and, once he filled his boots with goals at FC Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town, he moved to Leicester City. After the miracle of surviving relegation, the team of unlikely outsiders bonded together to achieve the unthinkable: Jamie set the record as the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches and Leicester beat odds of 5000-1 to become champions. Jamie has now been nominated for the Ballon d’Or, firmly establishing himself as one of England’s leading goal scoring footballers. Not forgetting his roots, however, he has set up the V9 Academy in a bid to find the...

"The odds of the Foxes winning the Premier League at the start of the season were the same as the Yeti or the Loch Ness Monster being proven to exist, Christmas being the warmest day of the year in England or Barack Obama playing cricket for England after he left the Oval Office." -- ESPN On March 21, 2015, Leicester City lost their sixth game in eight matches. Without a victory for two months, they were rock bottom of the English Premier League, heading for certain relegation to the lower division, and about to miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime financial bonanza of TV money and opportunity. As usual, London and Manchester would clean up, the rich would get richer, and the hopes of the small, overlooked, multicultural city would sink. But Leicester started to win. They stayed up; and in the new season they kept on winning. Favorites for relegation, rank outsiders as potential champions (their 5000 -- 1 odds were the longest in the world for any major sporting event), their entire squad had been assembled for less than the cost of a single player for Manchester City. Still, they beat Manchester City and Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea: the most incredible cast of written-offs,...

The World of Football According to Athletico Mince

Autor: Bob Mortimer & Andy Dawson

Número de Páginas: 239

For the first book inspired by their wildly popular podcast, Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson considered producing an authoritative guide to the past, present and future world of football. But, as in the podcast, they got a bit side-tracked - as well as bringing you some (more or less) completely genuine football facts, Bob and Andy speculate about the lifestyle of baked bean-loving, yellow snake-owning ex-England boss Steve McClaren, and investigate the 'Gangs of the EPL', where football meets infantile bullying. There's also input from the Secret Soccer Superstar - a former player who lifts the lid on what it's really like to be a top, top pro - and the lyrics from some of Bob's most memorable Scottish songs, so that you can sing them to your children, elderly relatives or, indeed, yourself, should you need to be soothed after learning about Robson Green's Extreme Bangers. In summary, it's a bit of a mess - but - it's a beautiful, glorious, hilarious mess... and if you're not reduced to at least one convulsion while reading it, Bob and Andy are going to be very disappointed with you. In fact, they might come round to your house and force you to KISS THE ALDERMAN. 'If you like...

On his technical advisor: 'My only technical adviser is my mother. When I told her that Damien [Duff] had injured his shoulder again, she said 'Oh no!' Who should replace him? I will call her before the game to ask.' On bookmakers: 'I don't believe in the bookmakers. The bookmakers at the beginning predicted that the [first manager] sacked would be Ranieri. The first!' On Jamie Vardy: 'This is not a footballer. This is a fantastic horse.' We all know the story by now: Leicester City were relegation fodder at the start of the 2015/16 season. Written off, laughed at, berated in the press the team and their manager were dead certs to be kicking off the following season in the Championship. Then, some nine months later, they were crowned Premier League champions, with the majority of the football establishment left scratching their heads as to just how they managed it. This rollercoaster of a season was perfectly captured by their eccentric manager, Claudio Ranieri, whose mixture of charm, wit, weird idioms and...

RIP GIANLUCA VIALLI 1964-2023 'I WANT TO INSPIRE PEOPLE. I WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT ME AND SAY: "BECAUSE OF YOU I DIDN'T GIVE UP".' Goals is a very personal and deeply-moving collection of life-affirming and inspirational real-life stories from which the late Chelsea and Italy football legend Gianluca Vialli drew great strength and resolve whilst living with pancreatic cancer. The stories and the individuals involved were selected by Vialli because they offered him comfort and inspiration at the time of his greatest challenge, and he felt that they can do the same for many of us, whatever it might be that we are facing. The result is a beautifully-written and touching narrative which is by turns vital and poignant, spine-tingling and heart-rending. The very last story in Goals is Vialli's own, bravely and movingly chronicling his battle with this cruel illness.

Het wonder van Leicester City

Het scheelde niet veel of Leicester City was afgelopen seizoen gedegradeerd uit de Premier League. De kans dat juist deze club kampioen zou worden werd door bookmakers ingeschat als 1 op 5000. Met een minuscuul budget stelde de vierenzestigjarige Italiaan Claudio Ranieri een elftal samen van jongens die elders gedumpt waren omdat ze 'versleten', 'te klein' of 'ongetalenteerd' zouden zijn. Zoals James Vardy, voormalige fabrieksarbeider en bajesklant, die bij Leicester als spits alle records brak. Of Wes Morgan, een jongen uit de achterbuurt, die een tattooshop bestierde voordat hij tegen ieders verwachting toch nog profvoetballer werd. Of N' Golo Kanté en Riyad Mahrez, die beiden in Frankrijk onopgemerkt waren gebleven. Maar het onvoorstelbare gebeurde: Leicester City werd kampioen in de Premier League. Jonathan Northcroft vertelt in Het voetbalwonder het mooiste sportverhaal van de afgelopen jaren.

Número de Páginas: 179

Chiunque ami il calcio e vada ad assistere a una partita di Premier League in Inghilterra resta senza fiato. Perché lì il gioco più bello del mondo è ancor più bello: è il campionato più ricco, gli stadi sono i più spettacolari, le squadre sono al massimo livello. Ma non solo: perché quei luoghi ormai mitici - da Stamford Bridge a Wembley, da Old Trafford a Highbury - preservano una tradizione unica di vittorie e campioni, ma anche il segreto di un rapporto diretto con il pubblico che non esiste altrove. Per tutti gli appassionati italiani che da anni seguono il football britannico in tv (in passato sulla televisione svizzera e Tele+, oggi su Sky), Nicola Roggero racconta per la prima volta tutta l'epopea di questo fenomeno, dal lontano 1888 quando il gentiluomo William McGregor diede origine al primo campionato inglese per arrivare alla finale della Champions League 2019 in cui, sbaragliate le altre rivali del resto d'Europa, si sono fronteggiate Liverpool e Tottenham. È una cavalcata entusiasmante che passa dalle prodezze di Dixie Dean che negli anni Venti segnò 349 gol solo con la maglia dell'Everton alla tragedia del Manchester United nel '58 (una Superga inglese),...

Jak se stalo, že si kluk z kodaňského paneláku řekl: Chci se stát šampionem Manchesteru United a Dánska, a dokázal to? Peter Schmeichel je fotbalový velikán, který získal více titulů v Premier League než kterýkoli jiný hráč na jeho pozici a byl kapitánem Manchesteru United při jedinečném, posledním vítězství nad Bayernem Mnichov ve finále Ligy mistrů v roce 1999. V knize nás zavede do pozoruhodného, vítězného prostředí klubu, který v 90. letech změnil fotbal, a na hřiště oné bláznivé, dechberoucí noci v Barceloně roku 1999. Od Fergusonova jedinečného nadání až po jedinečnou osobnost Erica Cantony přináší detailní a zasvěcený portrét zlaté éry United. Schmeichel má však za sebou také neuvěřitelný rodinný příběh, počínaje otcem Antonim, geniálním polským jazzovým hudebníkem, který bojoval s démony a po léta před svým okolím skrýval závažné tajemství. Mimoto Schmeichel ve svém životopise zkoumá, jaké dědictví zanechal svému synovi Kasperovi - jenž je sám vynikajícím brankářem Premier League a jedničkou dánské reprezentace.

LEICESTER CITY, 5000 TEGEN 1 Een verhaal over hoop, vertrouwen en over een nieuwe kampioen van Engeland. Een jaar geleden wisten ze ternauwernood degradatie af te wenden en alle kenners wisten het zeker: Leicester City is in voetbalseizoen 2015/2016 de zwakste schakel in de Premier League. Niets bleek minder waar en op maandag 2 mei 2016 schreef de ploeg uit Leicester geschiedenis door kampioen van de Premier League te worden. Het kampioenschap van Leicester City is een sportsprookje dat zo zeldzaam is, dat de 'bookies' aan het begin van de competitie 5000:1 gaven voor een gok op het kampioenschap van dit team. Ter vergelijking: de kans dat Bono de nieuwe paus zou worden was 1000:1 en zelfs de kans dat Kim Kardashian voor 2020 president van de VS zou worden was volgens hen nog veel waarschijnlijker: 2000 tegen 1.

Met behulp van de reacties van fans, statistische analyse en informatie van binnenuit lees je hoe Leicester erin is geslaagd om kampioen van Engeland te worden.

Mentre il Leicester di Claudio Ranieri si prepara a sorprendere il mondo, una ridente provincia abruzzese subisce, quasi inconsapevolmente, un cambiamento epocale. Dalle ceneri del Virtus Lanciano, nasce il primo movimento calcistico di Montesilvano. Cinquantaquattromila abitanti bastano e avanzano per inseguire il sogno di una squadra professionistica di tutto rispetto. Esistono da anni modelli di provincia ben riusciti. Se pensiamo all'Empoli, alla SPAL, al Carpi, al Parma, all'Atalanta o all'esempio più illustre del calcio di oggi, il Sassuolo. Al palazzetto intitolato a Dean Martin, artista di origini montesilvanesi, comincia il lungo cammino del Betis Montesilvano. Tra sorrisi, amare delusioni e la follia di rincorrere il mito del calcio inglese, la città avrà per la prima volta un sapore diverso, innovativo e a tratti grottesco. Contenuti esclusivi di Giuliano Agostinone e Giuseppe Castagna.
