In the summer of 1966, Peter Chapman was a naive 18-year-old from the Angel in North London. He was just about to enter the world of work, having flunked his A Levels and recently discovered that he would not be fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional footballer at Leyton Orient. As a young man on the brink of adulthood, he found himself in a country also on the brink of huge change - and about to have one of the most significant sporting successes in its history.

L'infanzia in via Vetulonia, i primi calci al pallone, la timidezza e la paura del buio, la vita di quartiere in una Roma che forse non esiste più. Gli amici che resteranno gli stessi per tutta la vita. Gli allenamenti a cui la mamma lo accompagnava in 126, asciugandogli i capelli con i bocchettoni in inverno. L'esordio in Serie A a 16 anni in un pomeriggio di marzo del 1993 a Brescia, con i pantaloni della tuta che al momento di entrare in campo si impigliano nei tacchetti; il primo derby, il primo gol, il rischio di essere ceduto alla Sampdoria prima ancora che la sua favola in giallorosso possa cominciare.

Forfatteren har fulgt det danske fodboldlandshold gennem fire år - før, under og efter VM i Rusland og i tiden frem til EM, som bl.a. afholdes i Danmark i 2021. Det er historien om den stilfærdige nordmand Åge Hareide, der blev ansat til at genskabe fordums storhed på grønsværen og skabe fornyet begejstring for landsholdsfodbold herhjemme, men som undervejs fik at vide, at DBU ikke ville fortsætte med ham og i stedet ansatte Kasper Hjulmand.

Both Sides is Nicklas Bendtner's shockingly honest memoir of both the bright and dark sides of his personality and the football industry and what really happens when you give a troubled, overconfident teen millions to spend. It's about growing up in a working class neighbourhood and never denying your roots while living a dramatically changed life. It's about fighting to reach the top in the worlds' toughest league but having no respect for hierarchy. It's about friendship, rivalry, loneliness, failing father figures and the constant quest for an adrenaline kick

On the morning of Saturday 15th April 1989, Jenni Hicks, her husband and their two teenage daughters, Sarah and Vicki, went to watch a football match. That was to be their last day as a family. Sarah and Vicki didn't come home, and Jenni's world was changed forever. Since that fateful day, Jenni has tirelessly campaigned for justice for her own and others' families.

Per quello che fece in campo la sentenza è già stata emessa dal tribunale degli dèi, il solo competente: fu il più grande di tutti, capace di entrare perfino nel cuore di chi voleva e doveva odiarlo. Ben più severo il verdetto dei mortali, mai propensi a valutare con il giusto distacco le contraddizioni di un uomo che, prima di ogni altra cosa, è stato uno straordinario moltiplicatore di sogni ed esistenze, tanto che chi ha voluto raccontarne i fantasmi presto o tardi ha dovuto fare i conti con i propri.

Futbolistas, entrenadores, presidentes, artistas, políticos, periodistas, escritores e incluso adversarios han acuñado expresiones y reflexiones relacionadas con el FC Barcelona. Algunas hicieron fortuna y, con el paso del tiempo, se anclaron para siempre en el imaginario azulgrana. Otras, con menor recorrido, generaron puntual expectación y debate, pero igualmente pusieron de relieve la gran dimensión de la entidad: más que un club. En este libro, una actualización del Senyora, no fotem.

Sin recurrir a la brillante fotografía del liderazgo de Sergio Ramos García (Camas, Sevilla, 30-3-1986), no sería fácil navegar por la estela de éxitos que han venido atravesando la Selección española de fútbol y el propio Real Madrid desde comienzos del Siglo XXI. Campeón del mundo en 2010, en Sudáfrica y doble campeón de Europa (2008/2012) con el equipo de España -al que ya capitaneó en la Copa del Mundo de 2018, en Rusia-, Ramos ha ido marcando una clara secuencia de liderazgo desde que en 2005 fue transferido del Sevilla al Real Madrid por una cifra récord.

La rivalidad entre el Barcelona y el Real Madrid, la codicia del jugador y su entorno y las fortunas que mueven las grandes estrellas del fútbol han llevado al club catalán y a Neymar Jr, acompañado por su famoso padre, ante la justicia. Según la acusación particular y la Fiscalía de la Audiencia Nacional, el fichaje del astro brasileño por parte del club blaugrana esconde una larga historia de pactos bajo cuerda, pagos millonarios y presuntos engaños que empezó a mediados de 2011.

Jimmy Bullard may not have had the perfect hair-do, his Granada Ghia may not have been the flashiest of cars, and he definitely didn't have a string of Page 3 girls trying to sell kiss and tell stories about him to the tabloids. But what he has in spades is a genuine love for The Beautiful Game that few of his peers can match. One of the last graduates from football's old school, Jimmy actually worked in the real world - including as a painter and decorator - before turning pro. Maybe that's why he played football with a smile on his face, always says what's on his mind, and is no stranger to a spot of mischief.

The explosive autobiography from the brilliant and controversial footballer Luis Suarez. Luis Suárez was a young boy already in love with football by the time his family moved from the countryside to Uruguay's capital, Montevideo.

Wer profitiert von diesem gigantischen Geschäft um Übertragungsrechte und Merchandising?
