A propos de cet article
Description :
Paperback. Simon is in a rut. When he starts to question the futility of playing for one of the worst football teams in Ireland, he must decide whether he can survive without football and if football can survive without him. His best mate Larry, a profligate striker and Johnny, a fiery midfield extraordinaire, are really starting to get on his nerves. All Simon wants is to play well for St Brigid's and to figure out his place in the footballing landscape. He comes across an unsettling truth about the team's suicidal brand of football and develops an unusual enemy in the form of a barman called Mike. A decent run in the cup and the demon drink are the only things keeping him interested. However, when Simon works out what a true friend looks like, his life changes forever. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798397630528

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Far away from the bright lights of international rugby, there is another version of the game played by ordinary blokes of all shapes, sizes and degrees of physical ability. Steven Gauge was the last person anyone would expect to find on a rugby field, being somewhat shorter than average, bespectacled and decidedly "unsporty". But as a gentleman of a certain age when strange life choices are sometimes made, Steven chose to pick up a rugby ball and run with it.He discovered a hidden and hilarious world of convoluted nicknames, creative interpretations of the laws of the game and the inevitable, beer-related, post-match mayhem. But he also found a heartfelt sense of belonging and camaraderie of the kind that only a good, honest team sport can provide.So forget everything you think you know about rugby and join us on the touchline of Warlingham Rugby Club as Steven leads out the 4th XV.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Short-listed for the North American Society for Sport History Book Award 2003. Alcohol is never far from sporting events. Although popular thinking on the effects of drinking has changed considerably over time, throughout history sport and alcohol have been intimately linked. The Victorians, for example, believed that beer helped to build stamina, whereas today any serious athlete must abstain from the demon drink. Yet despite current prohibitions and the widespread acceptance of alcohols deleterious effects, the uneasy alliance of sport with alcohol remains culturally entrenched. It is common for sporting celebrities to struggle with alcoholism, and teams are often encouraged to bond by drinking together. Indeed, many of todays major sporting sponsors are breweries and manufacturers of alcoholic drinks. From hooliganism to commerce, from advertising and sponsorship to health and fitness, if there is one thing that brings athletes, fans and financial backers together it must be beer. This cultural history of drinking and sport examines the roles masculinity, class and regional identity play in alcohol consumption at a broad range of matches, races, courses and competitions. Offering a fresh perspective on the culture and commerce of sporting events, this book will be essential reading for cultural historians, anthropologists and sociologists, and anyone interested in sport. Presenting a cultural history of drinking and sport, this work examines the roles masculinity, class and regional identity play in alcohol consumption at matches, races, courses and competitions. Offering a perspective on the culture and commerce of sporting events, it is aimed at cultural historians, anthropologists and sociologists. This item is printed on demand.
