'Tom Fort has a unique knack of finding new ways to reflect Britain back to ourselves and Lido Land may be his best book yet!' Charlie Connelly, author of The Shipping NewsPeople are currently flocking back to Britain’s lidos in their thousands. But this isn’t the first time they’ve made a splash. From the author of The A303: Highway to the Sun comes a deep dive into the historical and cultural significance of the British lido that will make you fall in love with outdoor swimming. Tom Fort takes us on a fun-packed journey around the UK’s lidos past and present, proving that lidos can tell us more about social trends, progress and political ideology than you might think. Along the way he takes us to the only surviving Lido in Wales, built in 1927 to help miners wash off their daily dirt, to the Portobello Pool in Edinburgh where Sean Connery was once a lifeguard, and around the iconic seaside towns of Blackpool and Weston-super-Mare where the loosening of Victorian moral standards could be measured by the shrinking of swimming costumes. Along the way, we meet the beauty queens competing for the Miss New Brighton crown at the Merseyside lido in 1966, a mayor who finished Guildford lido’s opening ceremony by stripping off his robes and gold chain and diving headfirst into the water, and we spend time with the colourful characters involved in designing, creating and keeping lidos afloat through the years. His journey shows us, time and time again, the personal significance of the lidos’ communal spaces – the unmistakable cold of the water rising above your shoulders, the sounds and smells of poolside sunbathing, the sun-baked tiles underfoot and the warm towel after a freezing dip. Fort, with his characteristic wryness and nostalgia, gathers memories and observations from the swimmers he meets along the way, interspersing these with historical fragments and moments from his own history. He laments the lidos we have lost, celebrates those saved by persistent community organising, and takes a frank look into their future.

Who was the greatest Jewish footballer ever? A question to leave even the most historically literate football experts scratching their heads. And yet, before the Holocaust, Jewish superstar players were at the heart of European football. So too were the visionary Jewish coaches reinventing tactics; the Jewish footballing pioneers who shaped the modern game; and even the elite Jewish referees trusted with the biggest matches. Digging Deep excavates a destroyed civilisation. It reveals the untold stories of eleven Jewish football greats - icons one minute, marked for extermination the next. Setting exhilarating sporting triumphs against the gathering darkness of twentieth-century Europe, it restores these forgotten men to their rightful place in the football pantheon. More than a sports book, this is a journey through the beautiful game into the savage reality of the Holocaust - tracing human sagas that speak of ambition and glory, identity and belonging, terror and murder.

Ambassador Antonín Panenka Fotbalový svět i jeho samotný fanoušek se poměrně často ptají: Kdo že je skutečně nejlepším jedincem v historii fenomenální hry, která se před půldruhým stoletím narodila v Anglii a postupně ovládla planetu Zemi a v roce 1930 započala éru 22 světových šampionátů. A obsažná kniha nás jimi provede. Od Uruguaye až po Katar 2022, poznáme mistrovské týmy a s nimi největší hvězdy jednotlivých mistrovství včetně famózních kanonýrů. A kdo je opravdu nejlepším fotbalistou historie? PELÉ – vysloví jméno fotbalového poloboha polovina fanoušků, vždyť třikrát přivedl Brazílii ke Zlaté Niké (1958, 1962, 1970), dobrá čtvrtina doslova vynese do nebe fantoma MARADONU, kapitána argentinského triumfu v roce 1986. Autor v knize oběma věnuje speciální přílohu VELIKÁNI. Současně vyslechneme názory, že tihle dva zcela výjimeční plejeři dominovali fotbalu zejména ve svém období, ale že od jejich času se hra a výkonnost a umění hráčů neporovnatelně posunuly. Nejlepšími z nejlepších jsou přece ti, kteří jsou nejlepší právě dnes. A těmi vyvolenými jsou bezpochyby CRISTIANO RONALDO a LIONEL MESSI, pětinásobný resp. osminásobný (!) držitel Zlatého míče. Myslí si to také Iker Casillas, který se ve volném čase intenzivně zabývá filozofií. „Ti dva jsou z jiné planety. Přemohli, co bylo, a předběhli to, co bude. Mají vlastní úroveň, společný level přístupný jen jim, o spoustu pater výš, než jsou všichni ostatní,“ zní výrok mistra světa a dvojnásobného evropského šampiona. Má hloubku a sílu a vyjadřuje reálnou skutečnost. Gólmanská ikona potvrzuje, že je dnes při veškeré úctě k legendám zpochybnitelný názor, že nejlepšími fotbalisty historie jsou právě Pelé či Maradona. Ano, stali se legendami. Ve své éře, podobně jako Alfredo di Stéfano či Johan Cruijff, vyčnívají vysoko nad ostatními, ale k současným géniům, Cristianovi a Lionelovi, je těžko můžeme přirovnávat, a vůbec – takové měření, které dělí tři desítky let až půlstoletí, je velmi obtížné. Alespoň je ale zřejmé, že Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo a Messi jsou ikonami fotbalu. Až po nich následující výjimeční muži, které můžeme pojmenovat vládci desetiletí. V padesátých letech udivuje svět Alfredo di Stéfano, po boku Pelého září černá perla z Mosambiku, Eusébio. Sedmdesátá léta zase patří Johanu Cruijffovi a Franzi Beckenbauerovi. V „osmdesátkách“ vynikají společně s Maradonou Michel Platini a Marco van Basten, o desetiletí později udivují Italové, Paolo Maldini s Robertem Baggiem, na počátku nového věku jsou skvělí držitelé Světového poháru Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo. A my můžeme být hrdí, že mezi nejlepší fotbalisty historie náleží také dva čeští držitelé Zlatého míče: JOSEF MASOPUST, souputník Pelého, a PAVEL NEDVĚD, opravdový fotbalový gladiátor, a s nimi samozřejmě JOSEF BICAN, autor rekordních 821 soutěžních gólů. Slavného Pepiho překonali pouze Cristiano (965) a Lionel (905), megahvězdy bez limitů. Tři Čechoslováci či Češi v první stovce fotbalistů historie! Už nám je nikdo nevezme stejně jako dvě světová stříbra. V roce 1934 je získala generace Františka Pláničky, v roce 1962 „Chilané“ v čele s Masopustem. A nyní máme naději, že na české hvězdy obou slavných šampionátů naváže současné Česko v čele s kapitánem Láďou Krejčím, Patrikem Schickem a Pavlem Šulcem. A tak se s našimi novodobými hrdiny CR7 a LM10 vydejme za jejich slavnými předchůdci a rovněž poznejme jejich možné nástupce Kyliana Mbappého a vycházející star Lamine Yamala, a to také ve speciální příloze VLÁDCI PLANETY FOTBAL. Interesantní a speciální otázka zní: zvedne někdo z nich po šampionátu v Americe 2026 nad hlavu pro každému hráče snový Světový pohár?

Every four years, the planet stops dead for an event like no other. The World Cup captures the global imagination in a way that dwarfs every other sporting competition. Glittering Prize tells the full story of its thrilling century-long arc. Volume II focuses on what many consider the tournament's golden era: Paolo Rossi's surprise eruption to fire Italy to victory in Spain in 1982; Diego Maradona's almighty show of will and skill four years later in Mexico; the unforgettable exploits of Toto Schillaci and Roger Milla at Italia 90; the glitzy extravaganza of USA 94; and France's vivid triumph on home soil in 1998. Brimming with fascinating detail and compelling personalities such as Michel Platini, Lothar Matthäus, Roberto Baggio and Zinedine Zidane, Glittering Prize is a riveting chronicle of the greatest sporting show on earth.

A Long Time Coming tells the inside story of Scotland’s dramatic return to the World Cup after a painful 28-year wait. Following the disappointment of Euro 2024, Steve Clarke’s side faced a daunting Nations League campaign in League A, impressing against superior opposition before a heavy play-off loss to Greece. With Clarke hinting this World Cup qualification campaign might be his last, and with many key players approaching 30, the pressure was on. FIFA’s new format meant six games across ten weeks would decide everything, leaving little margin for error. A favourable qualifying draw and confidence from their Nations League performances offered hope as they lined up in Copenhagen. True to form, Scotland turned a sprint into a gruelling test of endurance, culminating in one of Hampden Park’s greatest nights. Told through exclusive player interviews, this is the story of Scotland’s journey from despair to delirium on the road to their first World Cup since 1998.

In 1986, Rangers FC made a bold move that changed Scottish football forever. The appointment of Graeme Souness as player-manager marked the end of a nine-year title drought and the beginning of a new era atIbrox. Backed with serious investment and a clear mandate, Souness won the league in his first season and reignited the club's ambition. This book revisits that transformative period, when Celtic, Aberdeen and Dundee United were the dominant forces. With fresh insight from Rangers legends such as Terry Butcher, Ian Durrant and John Brown, and reflectionsfrom rivals including Souness's former international teammate Alan Rough, we explore the battles on the pitch and the drama behind the scenes. Former Rangers player and then-Hearts boss Alex MacDonald also shareshis memories of how his old club changed almost overnight. Forty years on, we uncover stories never told before, with Souness himself at the heart of it. Featuring a foreword by iconic captain Richard Gough, and a postscript from Rangers record goal scorer Ally McCoist, this is a compelling look at the revolution that reshaped Rangers. As Ian Ferguson put it, 'I could have gone to Man Utd., but when Souness trapped up at Ibrox, there was only one destination for me.'

THE STORY OF HOW A WILD MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE EVOLVED INTO AN ELITE OLYMPIC SPORT'Why is the best blood of England to waste itself in scaling hitherto inaccessible peaks, in staining the eternal snow, and reaching the unfathomable abyss never to return?’ - The Times, 1865In the 1950s, rock climbing was a wild mountain adventure that was defined by a rebellious, bohemian culture and practised by small groups of amateur enthusiasts. Today, rock-climbing has become a professionalised, high-performance, mass-participation Olympic sport. There are now more than 400 climbing walls and over 500,000 people climb regularly in the UK. Ascent tells the story of this remarkable transformation. Anthony King – a dedicated climber himself – traces the sport’s evolution through decades of rebellion, innovation and achievement to its place today as a vibrant, diverse culture. His own experiences colour the narrative; we discover not just how climbing developed, but what it feels like to climb and be a climber. More than just a history of the sport, through this story we also see how British society itself has changed. Expansive, immediate and deeply engaging, Ascent is both cultural sport history and lived experience.
