From the successes of the 1960s to the remarkable trio of Worthington, FA, and UEFA Cups in 2001, this book celebrates the triumphs and the players that achieved them.

Mick Shoebottom was the type of play every Rugby League side wants in its ranks. Tough, durable, fast, skilful and with an incredible will to win, he was the ultimate players' player in the toughest of team sports. Hunslet-born, he was an integral part of the great Leeds side which swept all before them in the late 1960s and early '70s, becoming the first and only player in the code's history to represent his country in Test matches in four different starting positions, such was his value and versatility.A key member of the last Great Britain side to win the Ashes in Australia in 1970, he went on two tours and won every domestic medal available until tragedy struck and he was grievously injured scoring perhaps the most infamous try witnessed at his beloved Headingley. This is the story of his remarkable career, illustrated with around 100 images and mementoes taken from his scrapbooks and featuring reminiscences from a number of his former teammates.The sixth book written about the Leeds club by Phil Caplan and with a foreword by Alan Smith and John Atkinson, it commemorates what would have been the sixtieth birthday of one of Rugby League's true greats.
When the legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly retired in 1974 he was leaving in place at Anfield the second outstanding team that he had assembled. Shankly's team had tasted success in domestic and European competitions and with new boss Bob Paisley at the helm now looked destined for greatness. Paisley's team achieved immortality with European Cup wins in 1977 and 1978. During the 1970s Liverpool were simple irresistible as trophy after trophy found its way to Anfield.The platers that graced the Anfield turf during this decade such as Keegan, Dalglish, Clemence, Hansen, Souness and Toshack, are among the greatest names British football has ever produced. Liverpool won eleven major trophies during the 1970s and by the end of the decade were firmly established as one of the great clubs in world football. Phil Thompson has been following Merseyside football since the 1960s and has written several books on the subject. Here he documents the sensational exploits of Liverpool in the 1970s.
In March 1996, 100 years after its formation, Rugby League - traditionally pigeonholed as a northern English, industrial, working-class game - undertook the biggest re-branding exercise seen in modern sport, with a switch to a summer season and the formation of a twelve-team Super League, including the introduction of a European element. Ten seasons later, a third consecutive sell-out crowd at Old Trafford acclaimed Bradford Bulls as Grand Final winners, bringing a decade of unprecedented change and wholesale transformation to a successful close.In an extensive, unique analysis, the roots behind this radical conversion are explored, looking at the historical context and the business imperatives that govern top-level sport in the modern era. The authors - who have written and broadcast extensively about the code - plot the key elements from both on and off the field in what is a remarkable and controversial story.With extensive contributions from Rugby League Executive Chairman Richard Lewis, Sky Sports Managing Director Vic Wakeling, Super League Board member Gary Hetherington and top player Brian McDermott, this is a fascinating, in-depth look at the re-birth of a game with arguably the proudest professional heritage in the world.

Football and fighting are sadly all too frequent bedfellows. Competitive spirit can all too easily lead to anger and then on to violence. This book explores fifty of the most violent games of all time - every one of them a stain on the character of sportsmanship and the spirit of fair play. The selection includes: Middlesbrough v. Oldham (1915) where all 22 players were sent off; England v. Italy a.k.a. 'The Battle of Highbury (1934) Mussolini's paid bully boys laid into our brave lads with extreme thuggery; Everton v. Leeds (1964), a match so violent that the teams had to be taken from the field to cool down; and Crystal Palace v. Manchester United (1995) which saw Cantona's full blooded assault on a spectator who allegedly shouted 'Go home Frenchie' or something to that effect. An insightful read for all football enthusiasts.

The capture of the Enigma codes helped shorten the Second World War by at least a year. Churchill took a special interest in the information that came out of Bletchley Park’s Station X and he guarded his contact well so that the Germans would never find out the source.Without the quick actions of three men from HMS Petard, who clambered aboard a sinking German U-boat, the codes might never have been broken. On the night of 30 October 1942, First Lieutenant Tony Fasson, accompanied by Able Seaman Colin Grazier and Tommy Brown, climbed aboard U-559. Passing codebooks up through the hatch, Fasson and Grazier were caught aboard the sub as she suddenly sank. Brown was saved, along with the code books, and the rest, they say, is history... It wasn’t until 1969 that the men were mentioned for their work in rescuing the Enigma codes, and even then it was in the comic "The Hornet". Phil Shanahan tells the extraordinary story of the three men who saved countless Allied lives and shortened the war by a year, as well as the efforts to recognise their bravery.
Liverpool's strong links with aviation developed during the First World War, with many local firms becoming involved in aircraft contruction. Commercial flying really began at Liverpool when a municipal aerodrome was established at Speke. The airport played an extensive role during the Second World War and an RAF station was established to serve the 611 (West Lancashire) Squadron of Auxiliary air Force. The area was also the base for several 'shadow' factories under the management of Rootes Sectrities Ltd, producing Blenheims and Halifaxes. From the airport's opening in July 1933 through to recent developments, including the official renaming as 'Liverpool John Lennon Airport', the opening of the new terminal building and the current expansion plans, this updated, detailed history recounts the story of one of the north-west's major airports. This new edition features further colour pictures and thirty-two pages of new extra material, documenting recent changes and bringing the story up to date, including airline and air route developments from 2004-07 and material relating to the company's Master Plan, published in 2006.
