| Synopsis: |
Over the last few years -- with the advent of fanzines, sports supplements and men's magazines -- both the nature and the profile of sportswriting in Britain have changed, and in the press box, if not on the field, we are experiencing a Golden Age. This collection selects the best from both traditional sportswriters and writers inspired by sports they love. It's the prose that counts, not the sports of the stars. 'The editors remind us that sport "contains as much pleasure, pain, irony, tragedy and comedy as a writer will ever need" ' Observer 'A near perfect compilation with every contribution short enough and good enough to leave one wanting more. Buy it now' FHM 'An outstanding collection ...wonderful stuff' Sporting Life 'A rich, provocative collection, an excellent gathering of many invaluable voices' Times Literary Supplement 'If you buy one sports book this year, it really ought to be this one' Total Sport 'Simply the best anthology I have read' Glasgow Herald |
