Although best-remembered for non-playing reasons that afternoon marked the historic opening chapter of the stadium’s long and eventful history, of the stadium soon to be known simply as Wembley. Nige Tassell chooses 100 matches—from the well known to the unusual—that have shaped Wembley's legacy and tells a lively and original alternative history of the past 100 years of football, and of Britain.

Clean-living, wholesome, and with a constant smile plastered on her pretty face, Dee Jones is my antithesis. She's also what I'm told I need to polish my somewhat tarnished image—apparently being papped getting friendly with a fellow holiday maker on a sun lounger after your ex does a kiss-and-tell with the media isn't exactly what Manchester Athletic deems great publicity for their bad boy midfielder. A repair job is needed, and the club is hoping that the super shiny star player for the women's team can transfer some of her good-girl sunshine stardust on to me.

Il giorno prima, l'attesa lieve, agitatissima: cosa accadrà? E poi è il giorno. Lo stadio è una muraglia di colori, di cori, di rumori. Ai lati del percorso gli appassionati di ciclismo si accalcano, attendono, scalpitano sui sandali. Sfilano i campioni in campo. I panchinari. Gli arbitri. Il quarto uomo. Sfilano i campioni sulla strada. I gregari. I fotografi. I suiveurs e i giornalisti. Il durante e il dopo. L'attesa, la tensione, la rassegnazione, la gioia. L'euforia. La poesia. Questo è un audiolibro di sport, di calcio e di ciclismo. Di poesia.

In Abseits der Spiele berichtet der Kölner Ex-Hooligan Biniak aus seiner aktiven Zeit in den 90ern und 2000er Jahren. Mit Biniak schreibt kein Journalist über Hooligans, sondern einer, der in der "ersten Reihe" dabei war, wenn es am Rhein heiß herging. Eine Liebeserklärung an Köln und eine exklusive Coming of Age Geschichte. - Der Autor lässt die Hörer in die eigene Gefühlswelt eintauchen. Zeile für Zeile aus dem Herzen und der Faust, dem "Selbstbild eines Kämpfers". Ein faktenreiches, anspruchsvolles Fußballbuch der Extraklasse. Ein Werk, das Empathie und Menschlichkeit, Respekt und Wertschätzung erhält.

Es gibt einen Kodex unter Hooligans? Absolut! Auch wenn man dies als Außenstehender gar nicht vermuten sollte, so lässt uns der "Biniak" an seinen Erlebnissen mit den Cologne Streetfighters teilhaben und beweist: Hooligans - zumindest die meisten - sind eigentlich ganz nette Kerle. So lernen wir aber nicht nur die Hooligan-Szene selbst kennen, sondern auch die wiederkehrend anwesenden Polizisten, die Fußballvereine, die Fans und vor allem: die Menschlichkeit zwischen all diesen Gruppen, die man hier wohl am wenigsten erwartet hätte.

Un extraordinario relato para conmemorar los cien años de relación entre dos pasiones muy distintas pero cada día más inseparables; el fútbol y la literatura. En 1910, un lector escribió a Bohemia, una revista de arte solicitándoles que incluyesen el fútbol entre sus temas. Como respuesta, recibió una contundente negativa de sus editores: "La poesía y las patadas son incompatibles". Ocho años después, Horacio Quiroga publicó un cuento en otra revista, Atlántida.

Old Trafford, Manchester, 28 maggio 2003. Lo sguardo rivolto più volte verso l'arbitro, rincorsa lunga e gol. Il rigore decisivo contro la Juventus, in una finale di Champions League tutta italiana. Questo è il ricordo indelebile che Andriy Shevchenko, Pallone d'oro nel 2004, ha lasciato nei tifosi del Milan. Già da bambino sentiva che il suo destino sarebbe sta- to quello del calciatore, fin da quel marzo 1986, quando fu selezionato per entrare nei piccoli della Dynamo: il tempo di qualche allenamento poi saltò in aria il reattore numero 4 nella centrale nucleare di Chernobyl.

El Barça no es solo el club deportivo más popular del mundo, es simplemente una de las organizaciones más influyentes del planeta.

En las últimas tres décadas, el Barcelona pasó de un equipo regional a una potencia mundial, convirtiéndose en un modelo de excelencia deportiva y un constante ganador de títulos nacionales e internacionales.
