Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
‘A history of modern Spain told through one of world football's most intense rivalries’ Independent ‘Sports Book of the Year’ Sunday Times It’s Messi vs Ronaldo, it’s Catalonia vs Castilla. It’s the nation against the state, freedom fighters vs Franco’s fascists. It’s majestic goals and mesmerising skills, red cards and bench brawls. It’s the best two teams on the planet going face to face and toe to toe. It’s more than a game. It’s a war. It’s Barcelona vs Real Madrid. Only, it’s not that simple. From the wounds left by the civil war to the teams’ recent global domination, historian and expert on Spanish football, Sid Lowe lifts the lid on sport’s greatest rivalry. Lowe has spoken to the biggest names and the forgotten heroes who defined their clubs. Men like Alfredo Di Stéfano and Johan Cruyff as well as the only survivor of the most politically charged game in history, the Barcelona striker who knocked Madrid out of the European Cup for the first time ever, and the president who celebrated his club’s defining moment by taking a midnight dip in the Thames. By exploring the history, politics, culture, economics and language, while never forgetting the drama on the pitch, Lowe demonstrates the symbiotic nature of the relationship between these two football giants. In doing so he reveals the human story behind this explosive rivalry.

Author: Keith Haynes
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750953489
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
A sensational account of Swansea City’s 2010/11 season covering 12 months in the life of a Welsh football club that in 2002 was just 40 minutes away from extinction and expulsion from the football league. In June 2010, under new management, the club pushed its way kicking and screaming in to the psyche of the Welsh football public challenging at every level the presumed domination of Cardiff City. In November they put out the Cardiff fire with a resounding victory in the capital city followed by performance after performance on the pitch in front of thousands of adoring fans. This is the story of that season told by the very people who saw all those dramatic events unfold. It is an account of a club which refused to die, which would never give in, and which went in eight years from the very depths of despair to the edge of a brave new world, the greatest league in the world – the Premier League.
