1978
1978: The Birth of Moneyed Modern Football is the tumultuous yet captivating story of a year when new clashed with old, madness gave way to genius and innovation collided with custom.It’s a story of two remarkable matches – one blackened by violence, the other a landmark victory – but just as importantly of everything that happened in between.Maverick stars, revered trailblazers, famed managers, legendary trophy-winning sides, apocalyptic showdowns and developments that changed the fabric of the game all feature: from Britain’s first black footballing icons, to the signing of World Cup-winning Argentineans, to England’s TV channels fighting for the rights to matches, to the European Economic Community announcing that footballers would have the freedom to play in whichever of the nine member countries they wished.1978 heralded the dawn of a new age, with football plotting a course towards becoming the global behemoth it is today.
The Scouting Game
The Scouting Game brings us the inside story of the hidden world of top-level football scouting from a man with 30 years’ experience in the professional game, and more than a decade in the recruitment team at Chelsea FC’s renowned academy.Chris Robinson reveals how scouts work, what they look for and how they report on players, giving practical examples. He sets out the ideal characteristics that scouts search for in every position, and examines scouting at all levels – grassroots, academy, first team and opposition scouting.Chris explains how scouts interact with agents and what parents can expect from scouts and the professional academies, including how trials work and the developing role of data in scouting. He also considers scouting as a career, pointing out the pros and cons and explaining how to get started.With a fascinating insight into one of the hidden corners of the game, this book lifts the lid on the secretive world of top-level talent-spotting.
Soccer Scandals
It was Pelé who popularised the idea of football as ‘the Beautiful Game’ and so it is. But football also has its uglier side.As far back as the Edwardian era matches were ‘fixed’ to benefit gamblers, or to help clubs desperately in need of points to win promotion or to avoid relegation.There have been matches so brutal that on one occasion it was necessary for the BBC to precede televised highlights with a warning to viewers that what they were about see was ‘appalling, disgusting, disgraceful’.Crowd disorders, inadequate policing, and stadiums left in disrepair have resulted in loss of life and added to the scandals that have scarred ‘the Beautiful Game’ and caused public outrage.From Bolton to Brussels, Manchester to Montevideo, Seoul to Santiago, football has seen many dark chapters, many tragedies and more than a few shady characters, from the goalkeeper who offered not to ‘accidently’ let in goals to the referee who was arrested with 13lbs of heroin hidden in his underpants.Soccer Scandals: When the Beautiful Game Turned Ugly tells of the high-ranking officials who were at the centre of some of the most remarkable widespread corruptions that football has ever seen, of the betting rings involving unscrupulous players and referees, of doping, blackmail and phone taps, of ‘shameful savagery’ on the pitch and riots off it, even of suicide and attempted murder.It is the stuff of pulp fiction rather than of just games and goals and Saturday heroes. It is the ugly side of the game that Pelé found so beautiful.

Ako géniovia a šialenci zmenili F1 na najrýchlejšie rastúci šport na svete
V roku 2023 sa F1 zachránila pred kolapsom a konečne dobyla Ameriku pomocou úskokov, odvahy a predovšetkým nového pohľadu na to, čo má športové podujatie v ére veľkolepej zábavy prinášať. Motoristický šport znamenal pre Američanov dlhé roky iba preteky NASCAR a do menšej miery aj IndyCar. Formula 1 ako vrcholná a najbohatšia disciplína automobilových pretekov na svete sa vliekla v ich závese. Vzostup jej popularity, ktorý navonok pôsobí ako nečakaná náhoda, je v skutočnosti výsledkom dlhodobých premien a experimentov. Len vďaka nim má F1 v súčasnosti také výnimočné a zároveň krehké postavenie v športovom svete.
Joshua Robinson a Jonathan Clegg ponúkajú jedinečný pohľad do zákulisia historicky najvýznamnejších tímov a osobností F1 od Ferrari cez Bernieho Ecclestonea a Christiana Hornera až po Lewisa Hamiltona. Formula ponúka strhujúci portrét jazdcov, značiek, automobilov, súbojov a trúfalého riskovania, ktoré viac ako polovicu storočia formujú tento šport.
Z anglického originálu THE FORMULA: How Rogues, Geniuses, and Speed Freaks Reengineered F1 into the World's Fastest-Growing Sport (Mariner Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, New York, 2024) preložil Martin Ruisl.
