Sven-Goran Eriksson

Fine condition. Grafton, 2002. First Grafton edition-first printing(1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2). Pictorial hardback with Dj(a couple of nicks, scratches and crease on the Dj cover), both in fine condition. Illustrated with colour, b/w photos. Nice and clean pages as new with a small colour mark and slightly yellow on the outer edges, a couple of small creases and nick on the edges of the pages. 376pp including index. Price un-clipped. Product Description: The in-depth biography of Sven Goran Eriksson - the first foreign manager of the England football team - which chronicles his time in the hot seat, from his baptism of fire on succeeding the incumbent Kevin Keegan through to the 2002 World Cup Finals in Japan and South Korea. The in Japan and South Korea. For the average English football fan, it is still largely a case of 'Sven who?' when it comes to the man behind the permafrost smile. Reserved - some would say introvert - by nature, he has so far dismissed as intrusive all questions about anything other than the England team. As a consequence, there is a fascinating story to be told about the moderate full-back who failed in his own country, retired from playing at 27, then went on to become one of the best coaches in the world. The son of a truck driver from a small provincial town in Sweden, Eriksson left school early and worked in a social security office. He went to college to study PE and played football as an amateur before being persuaded by an older teammate Tord Grip (now his assistant with England) that his career lay elsewhere in the game. Modest success at Roma and Fiorentina was followed by a renewal of Sampdoria's fortunes. It wasn't long before Lazio came knocking - but not before an acrimonious fallout with Blackburn when his surprise about-turn left the Lancashire club without a new manager. Phenomenal success in Rome however, where he led Lazio to the scudetto, eventually paved the way to the England manager's job. Until now. Joe Lovejoy's book captures the essence of the man and goes some way to explaining his influence behind the metamorphosis of Team England - from his first day in the hot seat to the thrills and spills of the Japan and Korea in 2002. It's a journey not to be missed. Fine/Fine. ISBN: 9780007140688

Illustrated with colour photos. The book is new. 241pp. T Book Description: In June 1986 Diego Maradona, considered by many to be the greatest footballer of all time, proudly hoisted the '86 Mexico World Championship Cup in his hands. Now over thirty years on from that magical game, and after a life in sports marked by controversy, Maradona tells, for the first time, the untold stories behind that one-of-a-kind World Cup. Mexico '86 was the pinnacle of Maradona's career, and in this book he reveals all about every game, what happened afterwards in the locker room, the months leading up to the World Cup, when the team had to go to Mexico City a month early to avoid the overthrowing of the technical director by the Argentine president, Alfonsin, the mystery behind 'El Gran Capitán' Passarella ('78 World Cup Champion), the strategies and tactics that revolutionised the game, training in a country that was recovering from an earthquake, the public's hostility, the jerseys they went out to buy in Mexico City, the meeting in Colombia where the team really came together, his relationship to drugs: the clean World Cup, and the best goal in football history. Mexico '86 is Maradona's World Cup and Maradona is who he is because of that World Cup. Explosive, gritty and unapologetic, Touched by God tells the inside story of one of the greatest football victories of all time. New. ISBN: 9781472125057

The Real Monty: The Autobiography of Colin Montgomerie [Illustrated]

Fine condition. Orion, 2002. First UK edition-4th impression. Black hardback(gilt lettering to the spine) with Dj(crease and scratch on the Dj cover), both in fine condition. Illustrated with colour photos. The book is as new with light shelf wear on the outer edges of the pages, very small pencil mark impression on the edge of the first page of the book. 218pp including Appendices:Career record, index. Price un-clipped. Product Description: Colin Montgomerie has been Europe's No. 1 golfer for the last eight years in succession - an unparalleled achievement in the professional era. He is universally regarded as the best player never to win a major title, twice losing in playoffs. Born in Scotland into a keen golfing family, Colin showed exceptional promise while still a small boy. His family insisted he complete his education, so he took a management degree in the USA before turning professional in 1986. In his early years he was as famous for his fiery temperament as for his play, culminating in a watershed incident in which he threatened a spectator who coughed during his backswing. Determined to conquer his emotions, Colin concentrated on improving his game, with spectacular results. His new found self-control stood him in good stead, particularly in the 1999 Ryder Cup, where he withstood constant abuse from American fans, and went on to defeat his close friend Payne Stewart on the 18th green -- hours before Stewart was killed in a bizarre plane crash. Montgomerie's autobiography is the story of a prodigious talent, a hothead who reformed his ways. It is about the most famous golfer in the world who has never won a major, but who is determined to do so. And it is about the hero of the most controversial and charged Ryder Cup in history.
