Profile Books Ltd The Medal Factory: British Cycling and the Cost
Book Synopsis55 Olympic medals. 6 Tour de France victories. Countless world records and world championship victories. Since the year 2000, British Cycling, Team Sky and INEOS have dominated the sport of cycling to an unprecedented degree. But at what cost? Did Sir David Brailsford, Peter Keen and the other brains behind British Cycling's massive and sudden dominance in the modern era find a winning "Moneyball" formula? Or did their success come down to luck and personal chemistry? Did this organisation, founded on relentless, ruthless efficiency contain contradictions which threatened to overwhelm it, amid accusations of drug-taking, bullying and sexism? The Medal Factory tells the full story from amateurish beginnings through a sports-science revolution to an all-conquering, yet flawed, machine. Through interviews with Brailsford and Keen, Shane Sutton, Fran Millar, Chris Boardman, Sir Chris Hoy and many other key players, Kenny Pryde interrogates the parts of the story - lottery funding, marginal gains - that we think we know, and reveals others that have remained hidden, until now.Trade ReviewA fine, reasoned and informed book * Herald *Pryde has done an excellent job of explaining the other side of the British cycling story, making sense of the machinations behind medal-winning performances. * Road.cc *Pryde's narration of events bears comparison with Matt Rendell's The Death of Marco Pantani, predominantly on the strength of his investigative tenacity, and unquestionably lays claim to pride of place on your bookshelf * TheWashingMachinePost.net *

The reaction has been ecstatic. Diamonds is fast becoming a cult classic." * The Observer *"Every now and again, perhaps once every five years, a book is published which captures the elusive essence of the game of football…Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil can stand comparison with the very best of football writing." * Scottish Football Historian *"Wonderfully written stuff, with a pawky humour that keeps the story bubbling along and the reader in rapt anticipation of the next delicious revelation...It's a wonderful read for a cold autumn weekend." -- John Maxwell * The Glasgow Herald *"Ron Ferguson's book is not only the story of a triumphantly doomed football club, but the sad and funny chronicle of Cowdenbeath itself." -- Kenneth Roy * Scotland on Sunday *"All the local stories that Ron Ferguson brought together in Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil are themselves part of the richness of the decades of community life we celebrate -- Rt Hon Gordon Brown, MP"What I had not expected was to put this book down and for the first time in my life, feel a desire to actually go and watch a game of football." -- The Rev Kathy Galloway * The Coracle *Stephen Fry once said of satirist Peter Cook that he was ‘the funniest man who ever drew breath’.

Kent State University Press The Turnpike Rivalry: The Pittsburgh Steelers and
Book SynopsisSeven decades of the intense Steelers-Browns rivalry.Football historians regard the games between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers as the basis for one of the greatest rivalries in NFL history. Authors Richard Peterson and Stephen Peterson, in telling the engaging story of these teams who play only a two-hour drive along the turnpike from each other, explore the reasons behind this intense rivalry and the details of its ups and downs for each team and its fans.The early rivalry was a tale of Browns dominance and Steelers ineptitude. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Browns-led by Hall of Famers ranging from Otto Graham and Marion Motley in the 1950s to Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchell, and Leroy Kelly in the 1960s-won 32 of the first 40 games played against the Steelers. In the 1970s, the Steelers-led by Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and the Steel Curtain-finally turned things around. When the AFL and NFL merged in 1970, Art Rooney agreed to move the Steelers only if the Browns also moved into the AFC and played in the same division so that their rivalry would be preserved.Despite the fierce rivalry, these cities and their fans have much in common, most notably the working-class nature of the Steeler Nation and the Dawg Pound and their passion, over the decades, for their football teams. Many fans are able to regularly making the 130-mile trip to watch the games.From the first game on October 7, 1950, where Cleveland defeated the Steelers 30–17, to last season's infamous helmet incident with Mason Rudolph and Myles Garrett, the rivalry remains as intense as ever.Trade Review"The Turnpike Rivalry delves into the nooks and crannies of a fascinating Rust Belt tug-of-war defined less by classic games than by fans who are exactly alike but still can't stand each other. A perfect read for the journey along the turnpike."—Jonathan Knight, author of The Browns Bible"While the game rarely meant championships for the winner, the bitterness and intensity between the two teams and their passionate fan bases have made the Steelers-Browns rivalry one of the most anticipated contests on the sports calendar. Richard and Stephen Peterson have done a remarkable job bringing the history of this rivalry to life in their book The Turnpike Rivalry. Whether you're a Steelers or Browns fan, or just love the game of football, this book is must for your library."—David Finoli, author of Classic Steelers, Breaking Barriers: The Chuck Cooper Story, and Pittsburgh's Greatest Athletes"Pull over at a rest stop, crack open the cooler, and enjoy this trip through time that maps the 70-year rivalry between the Steelers and the Browns. By the time you're ready to hit the road again, you'll understand why the games between these interstate rivals mean so much and why every victory is a high-octane rush."—Anne Madarasz, director, Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum at the Heinz History Center

The Mercier Press Ltd Something In The Water:: How Skibbereen Rowing Club Conquered the World
Book SynopsisOlympic rowers Gary and Paul O’Donovan may be the face of Irish rowing and Skibbereen Rowing Club, and have enormously increased the popularity of rowing in Ireland, but they're just one piece of a much larger jigsaw. Without their club and the people behind the scenes, they wouldn’t be Olympic silver medalists, 2018 world champions, former European champions and, in Paul's case, a three-time world champion. Almost one hundred Skibbereen Rowing Club athletes have represented Ireland at various regattas over the years; a staggering figure when viewed in light of the size of the club. Founded in 1970, it is now the undisputed most successful rowing club in the country, producing five Olympic rowers since 2000 and four world champions between 2016 and 2018. It is the characters involved in the club, the coaches, members and the athletes themselves, who come together to make Skibbereen Rowing Club what it is. Something in the Water reveals what goes on behind the scenes to create an environment that allows locals to excel on the national and international stages. The story is told through the people and families involved, showing how relatable they are to people around the country.

John Blake Publishing Ltd Oh Yes, Oh Yes, We are the PPS: Full-on True Stories of Preston North End's Most Notorious Fanatical Followers
Book SynopsisOver the years, the mobs of Preston North End have fronted up to infamous football firms such as the Chelsea Headhunters, the Birmingham City Zulus and the Leeds Service Crew, to name just a few. Although the Preston lads were often lacking in big numbers, they were always prepared to stand their ground and have a go, knowing that it was quality, not quantity that would count when standing toe to toe with their rivals. In this brutally honest book, staunch PNE fan Bill Routledge recalls the days when the dawn of Saturdays signalled a rush of adrenalin and a wave of anticipation; a time for the lads to put aside the worries of the working week and experience the buzz of mayhem on the terraces. He describes a time when music and fashion were vital to the identity of the firms, as well as examining the history of violence at Preston North End, the roots of the different factions and how they got their names. Together with other faces from the PNE firms, he details hair-raising tales of violent clashes with other mobs, as well as the fans' misdemeanours on foreign soil. This fascinating insight into life on the frontline is as shocking as it is exciting - but it's not short of laughs either. It is a truthful account of the highs and lows of being a devoted, passionate football fan waiting for glory.
