Beastly Fury: The Strange Birth Of British Football
Richard Sanders

This is the story of how the modern, professional, spectator sport of football was born in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century. It’s a tale of testosterone-filled public schoolboys, eccentric mill-owners and bolshy miners, and of why we play football the way we do. Who invented heading? Why do we have an offside law? And why are foreigners so much better than us at the game we invented?

Dermot Gilleece

Tales of golfing stars and memorable moments from Ireland's best loved golf correspondent.

Football, My Life
Lou Macari

Football has dominated Lou Macari's life. Taken on as an apprentice by Celtic in the wake of their 1967 European Cup triumph, Macari learnt his football the old-fashioned way. He quickly broke into the first team, winning Scottish league titles and Cups in both 1971 and 1972, but it was at Manchester United, following a shock transfer in January 1973, that the attacking midfielder's prowess turned him into a fans' favourite and a household name.
