The Final


The Final: In Pursuit of Greatness captures the drama of the last European Cup final before the Champions League overhaul: a watershed moment in football. On 18 May 1994, Johan Cruyff’s Barcelona ‘Dream Team’ faced Fabio Capello’s injury-hit AC Milan in Athens. What should have been a coronation for Barca turned into one of the most remarkable performances in European football history from their opponent. With stars like Romário, Stoichkov, Maldini and Sav? vi?, the match became a tactical masterclass that stunned fans and rewrote expectations. The book revisits the journey to Athens – from Galatasaray’s infamous ‘Welcome to Hell’ to Milan’s imperious league campaign – before dissecting the final’s pivotal moments. It explores how the outcome shaped both clubs, the careers of their icons, and the wider legacy of 1990s European football. Rich in storytelling and insight, The Final is the definitive account of one night that changed the game forever.

If I Hadn't Seen Such Riches


If I Hadn’t Seen Such Riches chronicles Manchester United’s dramatic 1990/91 European Cup Winners’ Cup adventure, weaving in the culture, economics and vibrant music scene of the time. After the Three Lions’ heroics at Italia 90 captured the nation’s hearts, it was time for English clubs to return to European competition after five years in the wilderness. In the wake of an era marred by rampant hooliganism, dwindling attendances and crumbling facilities, English football boomed. FA Cup success in 1990 bought Alex Ferguson time, but it was by no means a given that he would become the legendary figure and knight we know today. United, pioneers of European football in the late 50s, once more flew the flag for England. The intrepid Reds, competing in the quirky and much-loved Cup Winners’ Cup, travelled to Hungary, Wales, France and Poland en route to an unforgettable rain-soaked night in Rotterdam. This is the definitive account of a pivotal campaign that laid the foundations for unprecedented success.

Where Heroes Are Made


This book tells the stories of some great GAA locations and the people linked with them.

We also visit the club: the unbroken chain in the GAA's ageless passing of wisdom before taking a bypass on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams to a barber's shop and a car park. Full of compelling revelations such as for the first time Jack Lynch's startling admission in his final interview of the big regret of his career; the GAA's first miracle; why Kevin Heffernan lost his temper with Bernard Brogan; why Liam Griffin was told he would become a laughing stock; the story of Limerick's gate-crasher and the day Seán Purcell rose from the dead.

Dope


'Absolutely loved it' - Damian Hughes, High Performance podcastInside the murky world of doping in sport, uncovering how the cheats keep one step ahead of the authorities and what drives them to do so. Some of the most iconic and revered athletes in history have been handed bans when at the pinnacle of their sports - from Lance Armstrong, Ben Johnson, and Marion Jones to Diego Maradona, Shane Warne and Jannick Sinner. And now with the emergence of the Enhanced Games, where steroids and peptides are not only allowed but encouraged, an athlete's performance is questioned more than ever. Dope examines the landscape of sport and doping in the modern era, from micro-dosing blood boosters to the rise of drug taking in amateur sport and AI's ability to create undetectable - and potentially dangerous - performance-enhancers. Author James Witts immerses himself in the underbelly of sport, interviewing doping athletes, anti-doping experts, scientists, ethicists, psychiatrists and psychologists to answer:- What products do the dopers use to boost performance?- What methods do the authorities use to catch the cheats?- How does WADA determine what's legal and illegal?- How does politics impact WADA's work?- What's the evidence these illegal performance-enhancers actually work?- Why are football's indiscretions glossed over while cycling and athletics are lambasted?- What products are used to mask their illegal actions? - Can we really trust that peak sporting performance is down to determination and talen? his is an eye-opening and enthralling account of modern-day sport - one which will change the way you view it forever.

Superveloce


Shortlisted for Motorsports Book of the Year in the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 2026Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025Silverstone, 1950 – the first post-war Grand Prix and the birth of Formula One. The king and queen, alongside 150,000 spectators, watch in dismay as Italy’s Alfa Romeos scream past to claim the first three places. British cars are hopelessly outclassed by Alfa Romeos and Maseratis. How can it be, they all wonder, that Italy, its industry reduced to rubble by Allied bombs so recently, has set new standards of speed and style that leave the rest of the world for dust? Italy’s ability to outflank its more powerful and better-equipped neighbours is nothing new. At the turn of the century Italy made so few cars that its output wasn’t recorded, by 1907 Italian cars and drivers swept the board in the first Grand Prix season. In Superveloce, Peter Grimsdale explores the mystery of how a country with no industrial revolution, hampered by poverty, came to represent an innovation and flair that other countries struggled to match.  Grimsdale traces a century of Italian design genius, the rise of great marques such as Ferrari, Fiat and Alfa Romeo. We see the lives of fiercely charismatic and competitive drives like Ascari, Varzi and Nuvolari. Does the secret lie deep in Italy’s cultural heritage – in historic links between art and machine going back to da Vinci? Or is it simply ‘sprezzatura’ – the art of making something difficult look effortlessly easy?

Win, Lose or Die


*From the acclaimed author of Ragged Edge*Road racers don't race for money; they race for the sheer rush of it. Skimming stone walls at speeds of over 200mph on bumpy, treacherous public roads with no room for errors offers a buzz like nothing else on earth. This is sport at its rawest, fastest, and most lethal. The Isle of Man TT and motorcycle road racing events like the North West 200, the Ulster Grand Prix, the Macau Grand Prix, and the Cookstown 100 are known for their uncompromising brutality and provide some of the greatest highs and the most tragic of lows seen in any sporting field. There are only three possible outcomes for riders: win, lose, or die. It's that basic; it's that savage. Over the years, some of the biggest names in motorcycle racing have tackled 'pure roads' events, including Geoff Duke, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Joey Dunlop, Carl Fogarty, and even the great Barry Sheene. Their modern counterparts, like John McGuinness and Michael Dunlop, continue to push speeds higher and higher, the risks increasing with every mph gained, year on year. Faster, faster, faster. Through a host of exclusive interviews with riders, mechanics, team bosses, and race organisers, Win, Lose or Die takes readers behind the scenes of one of the world's most dangerous sports, revealing the triumphs and tragedies, the blood, the guts, the sweat, and the tears that are involved in winning a road race. This is extreme sport at its most extreme and the definitive look at the biggest, most lethal, motorcycle road races from around the world.

He is the man who dethroned Valentino Rossi, and who changed the sport of MotoGP forever. Márquez's hyper aggressive riding style has made him many enemies, his epic championship battle with Valentino Rossi in 2015 led to one of the most controversial moments in the history of MotoGP and his closely-fought battle with his brother, Alex, for the 2025 title capped off an astonishing sporting comeback story. But his story off the track is just as incredible: devastating accidents, surgeries and recoveries, racing on despite a diagnosis that left him knowing one more head injury could leave him blind. His self-admittedly ruthless personality and desire to win make him an explosive, dominant and at times controversial character. Told by bestselling author Stuart Barker, with the insight of rivals, team members, pundits, managers and many close to his story, this is the a story of pure sporting theatre and white-knuckle speed twinned with real human drama. Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing is the Márquez told in full for the very first time.
