Max Baer - John Jarrett - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Max Baer - John Jarrett - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

They called Max Baer the ''Clown Prince of Boxing'', but trainer Ray Arcel remembered a night in 1933 when he worked Baer''s corner in what was probably Max''s greatest triumph, the night he smashed Max Schmeling to defeat in ten brutal rounds. That was no clown. A year later, Baer was heavyweight champion of the world. New York loved the handsome Californian. Broadway was his playground and he was never short of playmates; his manager Ancil Hoffman often settling some breach-of-promise suit brought by a leggy blonde showgirl. A natural for Hollywood. Radio and vaudeville engagements brought in $250,000. From a $4 a day foundry worker, Baer''s rise was rapid. He bought so many suits he couldn''t keep track of them; wore a new hat every week; bought a house like a hotel. Arcel cried like a baby when he read in the New York Times that Max had died from a heart attack in November 1959. Baer was just 50 years old. This is the fascinating story of an iconic boxing figure who achieved so much in a life too short.

Playing to Fix - Paul Radley - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Playing to Fix - Paul Radley - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Playing to Fix tells the story of a group of Dubai street cricketers who chased down the dream of international cricket, working their way from dusty, tape-ball cricket on desert pitches to the international stage and almost reaching the pinnacle of world cricket … only to throw it all away by being drawn into the murky world of match fixing. This is the story of the United Arab Emirates team, who were on the brink of qualifying for the 2019 T20 World Cup in England. Instead of making it to the finals, a number of the players were seduced by the illegal betting syndicates operating across in the Indian subcontinent. They fell from the incredible high of competing against – and in some cases beating – the world''s best cricketers, to the shattering low of being caught by the ICC''s anti-corruption unit for match fixing, resulting in lengthy bans and a very public humiliation. With unprecedented insight and access to those fighting to rid cricket of fixing, experienced cricket writer and award-winning journalist Paul Radley lifts the lid on this incredible story. He explains how cricket''s ruling bodies caught the cheats; details the secret meeting on a Dubai beach, which descended into chaos, violence and ultimately saw the team drawn into the scandal; and tells a story so bizarre it includes bogus sponsors, Siberian huskies, a player being evicted from a hotel and a cross-border search for an AWOL wicketkeeper.

With change and possible existential threat looming in the shape of The Hundred franchise, and the proliferation of T20 tournaments around the world, the England and Wales Cricket Board is looking to cut the County Championship to just ten games per season. There''s never been a more pertinent time to unpick the workings of this centuries-old institution and examine why its survival is so important.

Blood on the Crossbar - Rhys Richards - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Blood on the Crossbar - Rhys Richards - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Blood on the Crossbar: The Dictatorship''s World Cup is the story of the most controversial football World Cup of all time. When Argentina both hosted and won the World Cup in 1978, just two years after the coup d''etat that ousted Isabel Per n, it was against the backdrop of a brutal military dictatorship in the country. Under the leadership of General Jorge Videla, up to 30,000 citizens, categorised as subversives, ''disappeared''. Dogged by allegations of bribery, coercion and football''s first failed drugs test, this is the story of Argentina''s maiden World Cup triumph and the controversy that simmered behind it. This isn''t exclusively a tale of footballers and generals, and the risks they took to succeed. It''s a story of the people: Argentinean exiles, Parisian students, brave journalists, the marching mothers of Plaza de Mayo and their missing children - and Dutch stand-up comedians leading international boycotts from thousands of miles away.

Journeymen - Mark Turley - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Journeymen tells a story that is often purposely ignored - that of the modern-day boxers who lose for a living. Far from huge purses and pay-per-view hype, the book lays bare the reality of the boxing business and the way it works in small-hall venues countrywide. October 2013 saw the 100th and final fight in the career of East London''s Johnny Greaves, remarkable in that he won only four contests. He took fights at short notice, facing young prospects with the implicit understanding that he was not there to win. Journeymen features in-depth interviews with Greaves and other men who have similarly served the fight game, including Kristian Laight (180 defeats), Jason Nesbitt (178) and Daniel Thorpe (113). Though sometimes dark, their tales reveal humour, wisdom and sporting pride: the journeymen eschew glamour, make the best of what they have and face the world with a smile and a wink.

On the Border - Shaul Adar - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In December 2020, an Israeli football club made worldwide headlines. The news that a UAE royal had bought 50 per cent of Beitar''s shares shook Israel and the football world. Beitar, proclaimed by some of its own fans as ''the most racist club in the country'', is a club like no other in Israel. While Israeli football as a whole is a space where Israelis of all ethnicities and foreigners can co-exist, Beitar won''t even sign a Muslim player for fear of its own far-right supporters'' group, La Familia. On the Border is the fascinating tale of a club that began as a sports movement of a liberal national Zionism party and became an overt symbol of right-wing views, Mizrahi identity and eventually hardcore racism and nationalism. The book explores the radicalisation of Beitar and the fight for the soul of the club between the racists and open-minded fans. It is also a story of Jerusalem, the most volatile place on Earth, and how the holy city and the influence of religion have shaped Beitar.

Drop In! - Billy Morgan - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Snowboarding maverick Billy Morgan has dedicated his life to redefining what is possible. With two world firsts to his name, he is also the first British male to win an Olympic medal on snow. Emerging from working-class origins in Southampton, a long way off piste, Morgan came late to the traditionally bourgeois world of snowsports. Driven by a latent love for fun, he reaches far beyond the cliches of stoner kids and street slang to explore the courage required at his sport''s highest levels. Morgan''s specialist event, Big Air, involves flying off a 50-metre ramp at 70 miles per hour, spinning and twisting while airborne, then landing. Even within the death-defying world of adventure sports, it is one of the most dangerous disciplines imaginable. In this groundbreaking autobiography, Morgan outlines the culture, ethos and philosophy of his sport. A sport in which one wrong move can cause life-changing injury. A sport whose party-animal practitioners feel peculiarly attuned with nature. Drop In! is a testament to human potential.

Tales from the Front Line - Luke Fletcher - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For over a decade Luke Fletcher has been a firm fan favourite at Trent Bridge. This 6''6" gentle giant never gives less than 100 per cent for Nottinghamshire, but a laugh and a joke are never far from his lips. Within the space of a week in 2017 he went from the highs of winning a Lord''s cup final to suffering a serious injury. As with most events in his life, the incidents provided scope for his infectious humour, much of it self-deprecating. An uncanny ability to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and his on-off relationship with the strength and conditioning gurus has often landed him in hot water, providing ammunition for witty comebacks. But although a clever quip is never far away, the broad-beamed paceman has earned the respect of everyone in the game. He has played against - and got the better of - virtually every opponent he has faced and has a career record to be proud of. In Tales from the Front Line, ''Fletch'' serves up laughs aplenty as he takes us on an anecdotal journey through our summer game.

The Transfer Market - Alan Gernon - Bog - Pitch Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For years, transfer gossip columns have been Alan Gernon''s (author of Retired: What Happens to Footballers When the Game''s Up) guilty pleasure. Fed up with the time wasted reading them, he explores how many of these rumours are accurate, planted by agents or simply made up - and how easy is it to plant a transfer story in the UK media. Along the way, he discovers how the market works and how a transfer happens; what a move actually means for a typical player in a world where you could buy more than 315,000 League Two players for the price of Neymar; and that almost 30 per cent of transferred players worldwide are moved between clubs against their wishes. He also uncovers how to become a football agent overnight, and why British players are reluctant to move abroad. He speaks to players about the pressures and real-life effects of a move, and tries to figure out how much the stars of yesteryear would be worth in today''s crazy transfer market - where Premier League clubs spent a record GBP1.4 billion in the summer of 2017 alone.
