Ooh, ah, Ray Parlour! Nicknamed the Romford Pele for his solid but unglamorous image, Ray Parlour is one of the most well-loved Arsenal players of the last few decades. A loyal club servant for over 14 years (1992-2007), he is revered among the Arsenal faithful for his down-to-earth Essex charm, his mischievous sense of humour and his hardworking performances on the pitch.

Deutschland hat viele große Torhüter hervorgebracht. Doch seit Langem hat kein Schlussmann die Position so sehr geprägt wie Manuel Neuer. Seine Ausflüge bis weit aus dem Strafraum hinaus sind legendär, vor allem bei der Weltmeisterschaft 2014 gab er dem deutschen Team dadurch einen enormen Rückhalt. Als derzeit weltbester Torwart kann der gebürtige Gelsenkirchener eine beachtliche Trophäensammlung vorweisen: Neben dem Triple 2013 mit den Bayern und dem WM-Titel 2014 stand Neuer beim bislang letzten Titelgewinn seines Heimatvereins FC Schalke 04, beim DFB-Pokalsieg 2011, zwischen den Pfosten. Und ein Ende der Neuerschen Erfolgswelle ist längst nicht in Sicht.

Seit Thomas Müller im Herbst 2008 die große Fußballbühne betrat, sorgt er für Furore. Mit seinen Bayern wurde er mehrfach Deutscher Meister und Pokalsieger, seine drei Endspiele in der Champions League krönte er mit dem Titel 2013. Und mit der Nationalmannschaft feierte Müller ein Jahr später den bislang größten Erfolg seiner noch jungen Karriere: den Weltmeistertitel. Mit seinen gerade einmal 25 Jahren schickt sich der Offensiv-Allrounder an, Rekorde für die Ewigkeit aufzustellen und sich einen Ehrenplatz in der Geschichte des deutschen Fußballs zu sichern.

Dies ist die Geschichte von Thomas Ritter, dem Fußballprofi in Diensten des FC X...

Dopo quattro anni di sospensione, "Le Roi" Michel Platini si mette finalmente a nudo e racconta la verità sullo scandalo che gli è costato la presidenza della Fifa e che ha scosso il mondo del calcio internazionale. Il celebre centrocampista francese, tre volte Pallone d'Oro, rompe il silenzio e sceglie di dire la sua: in questo audiolibro ricco di ricordi e sfoghi, aneddoti e confessioni Platini ricostruisce le ragioni e denuncia gli interessi in gioco in questa vicenda, svela i retroscena di un vero e proprio complotto e per la prima volta parla del suo rapporto con Sepp Blatter.

Carlo Ancelotti, uno dei grandi protagonisti del calcio italiano, racconta la sua vita con la schiettezza e lo spirito pungente che derivano dalle sue origini contadine. "Uno su mille ce la fa", e lui è quell'uno. Centrocampista forse un po' lento, ma caparbio e con una lucida visione di gioco, ha avuto due grandi maestri, uno agli antipodi dell'altro: Liedholm e Sacchi. Da lì, la vocazione irresistibile a fare l'allenatore. Attenendosi semplicemente ai risultati, Carletto da Reggiolo ha vinto tutto. Eppure, la sua carriera sembra un percorso avventuroso.

Giacinto Facchetti è stato uno dei più grandi simboli del calcio italiano e della centenaria storia dell'lnter. Vicecampione del mondo in Messico nel 70, campione d'Europa a Roma nel '68, ha giocato con la Nazionale azzurra 94 partite, delle quali 70 da capitano. In nerazzurro ha giocato 728 partite ufficiali, vincendo quattro scudetti, due Coppe dei Campioni e due Coppe Intercontinentali. Famoso in tutto il mondo per le doti di "cannoniere" (come si diceva una volta), ha segnato in serie A 59 gol, record di tutti i tempi per un difensore.

Auch in Zeiten von Corona wird Fußball gespielt. Doch die Fans müssen größtenteils draußen bleiben aus den Stadien. Aber wenn kaum jemand auf der Tribüne sitzen darf, gibt es besonders viel zu erzählen: neue Geschichten, neue Dramen, neue Pannen, neue Lacher, neue Tränen. Deutschlands populärster Fußball-Kommentator Wolff-Christoph Fuss ist von Geisterspiel zu Geisterspiel gereist und berichtet von leeren Arenen, Dramen auf dem Rasen und drumerherum und einem Traumfinale in der Champions League.

Thou Shall Not Pass (the title comes from a command England captain Terry Butcher would shout before every match) celebrates the football position where brutal characters are loved for their hard-hitting tackles and bruising mentality and yet laughed at for their apparent lack of skill. As well as covering the long and illustrious history of the centre-half, the book will take the listener into the muddy penalty area frequented by our protagonists, into their domain.

Stuart Pearce became the face of England's bid to win the 1996 European Championships when his maniacal explosion of joy and relief at scoring a penalty in the quarter-final shootout against Spain captured the mood of a nation. England did not win the tournament, but, against a backdrop of the 'Three Lions' song that played from every pub, every bar, every car radio and every open window in that summer, it cemented the renaissance of the game in this country.

As Alan recounts tales from his extraordinary life, he relives the sporting occasions, radio broadcasts and famously long drinking sessions that have defined his career. He takes listeners inside the talkSPORT studio for a behind-the-scenes view of his most memorable interviews and talks for the first time about the on-pitch rivalries and dressing-room debriefs of his footballing career.

Packed full of hilarious anecdotes, Razor gives us his take on the beautiful game, sharing his tactics (good banter is a defender's duty), red mist (and red cards) on the pitch, run-ins with the FA and his theory as to why Ingerland never does as well as we'd like, as well as his best ever goal and the greatest night of his sporting life.

"Hasta la vista, Bayern finalista!" Spontane, unvergessliche Sprüche wie dieser sind das Markenzeichen des Fußballreporters Wolff-Christoph Fuss. Im Jahr der Fußball-WM 2014 erzählt er aus der verrückten Realität seines Traumberufs und einer häufig überdrehten Branche. Er erinnert sich an peinliche Patzer bei seinen ersten Spielkommentaren, an emotionale Augenblicke wie beim "Spiel für die Ewigkeit" zwischen Inter Mailand und Schalke 04 oder an Vorgänge hinter den Kulissen.
