THE RANDOM HISTORY OF FOOTBALL

SILLY MID-OFFS & BAFFLING WRONG ’UNS

ACCOMPLISHED SWEEPERS & TRICKY WINGERS

A lot of leather has “plunk-plicked” against willow since cricket was first played on England’s village greens, but this doughty little book manages to capture the true essence of the noble game in just 100 run-grabbing moments (with some extras overthrown in). This is the story of cricket as it has never been told before: a well tossed-up compilation of surreal match reports, spoof correspondence and quirky cartoons. From a Great Victorian refusing to walk) to modern-day sledgers and floodlit pyjama cricket. Which other sport has Silly positions in the field? For those who don't know, anyone who stands (fields) within a couple of metres of a man wielding a 1kg wooden bat who flails at a ball, delivered at 140kmh, is, to be kind, at least silly – but more like barking mad!

This is the story of football told in a unique way. It is a cock-eyed compilation of match reports, correspondence and reminiscences from pundits, commentators, players, officials and spectators who may or many not have been there: a Victorian public school headmaster; PC Scorey; an Azerbaijani then “Russian” linesman; the Lord God himself; David Beckham's hairdresser, and many, many more. The nutmegs, the tantrums, the penaltyshoot-outs that have provided the ubiquitous topic of male conversation for generations, are entertainingly evoked. If The Random History of Football: Accomplished Sweepers & Tricky Wingers boasted the stories were in bite-sized chunks, Luis Suarez would buy every copy!

THE RANDOM HISTORY OF RUGBY

EMBARRASSING SHANKS & OUTRAGEOUS SLICES

HAPLESS HOOKERS & USELESS FLANKERS

This is the story of golf as it's never been told before. It is dog-legged compilation of sports reports, spoof correspondence and reminiscences from pros, caddies, playing partners and armchair pundits and the contributors may include Mary Queen of Scots, Dwight D. Eisenhower’s valet, Bob Hope’s chauffeur and John Daly’s local bartender. Albatrosses, Big Berthas, yips and holes-in-one are perfect excuses to linger at the 19th hole, and they are amusingly recalled for the delectation of the Fair Isle sweater brigade. This fresh new edition of The Random History of Golf: Embarrassing Shanks & Outrageous Slices goes where no golfers want to be a little off-line and with their balls in funny positions.

A lot of rucking and mauling has gone on since William Webb Ellis first picked up the ball and ran with it – and no story is more appropriate for this book than this one. It heroically manages to capture the true essence of the daddy of all oval ball games in just 80 minutes (plus 20 minutes of overtime). This is the story of rugby as never been told before: a jinking, weaving compilation of surreal match reports, spoof correspondence and quirky cartoons. The Random History of Rugby: entertainingly recalls the game's towering achievements, hilarious happenings and ludicrous coincidences. Even in the uberprofessional rugby world of today, players are still prone to the occasional high-jinks, as the Auckland harbour master would attest.

NIRVANA

THE WORLD’S GREATEST LIVING GUITARIST

THE BIGGEST ROCK BAND OF THE ’90S

Eric Clapton is one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. He is a highly respected figure in the pantheon of rock and roll greats, and his long career – with the Yardbirds and Cream, and as a solo artist – has been acknowledged by hundreds of awards and accolades over the years. Eric Clapton celebrates the legendary musician through stunning, rarely published photographs and the reproduction of 20 items of memorabilia, including posters, tickets, flyers and signed photographs. Eric Clapton gives the reader a frontrow seat (as well as backstage access) to the career of the legendary guitarist who is the only person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times.

Spawned in the intensely fertile music scene that blossomed around Seattle in the late 1980s, Nirvana instantly distinguished itself from the bulk of its peers by virtue of the singular passion that drove its leader, Kurt Cobain. Few were prepared for the worldwide popularity set off by the 1991 release of Nevermind, but with the enormous success of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, the album stormed the charts. Nirvana shows the multiple reasons behind that impact through the words of the band, their friends and their colleagues. Through interviews with those close to the band coupled with intensive archive research, the unique status Nirvana occupies – as representatives of the time and as timeless songwriters – is revealed.

This book shows the many different aspects of Bruce Lee’s life in photographs – all from the extensive family archives – and includes many of the photographs Bruce took himself. This book gathers all the best and rarest images, from classic theatrical poses to the previously undiscovered and never before published.
