Wigmore Tim: Test Cricket / B

Test Cricket

A History

On a defining evening of the 1980s, Donald Trump hosted celebrities and high rollers in a Jersey Shore town to witness 21-year-old Mike Tyson knock out Michael Spinks in just 91 seconds, earning more than the annual payrolls of the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics combined. Only eight years earlier, Tyson, a troubled child from Brooklyn, was taken under the wing of boxing legend Cus D'Amato in upstate New York. Their story of mutual redemption captivated novelists, screenwriters, and the emerging cable TV industry. Tyson became HBO's leading man long before Tony Soprano. Despite the immense success, Tyson's story was more complex and darker than it appeared. Over the decades, he has been villainized, lionized, and fetishized-but never fully humanized until now. Acclaimed biographer Mark Kriegel, who first encountered Tyson as a young reporter, explores Tyson's life through what he survived rather than whom he knocked out. Tyson, often compared to Jack Dempsey, was more akin to Sonny Liston-Black, feared, and expected to die young. What made Liston a pariah made Tyson a touchstone for a generation influenced by hip hop and gunfire. Kriegel captures not just Tyson's rise but his profound impact on the American psyche.

The making of Mike Tyson

Baddest Man

The Knockout explores what it's like for boxers knocked out in the ring. How does it feel to land or receive that ultimate blow?

Swift, brutal and utterly final: with knockouts, there are no grey areas; a KO is a KO. But what actually is a knockout, and why are we so fascinated by it? The Knockout&nbsp;is the most dramatic and devastating moment in sport. There is nothing to rival it: not the last-second goal, not the basket on the buzzer, not the putt that drops on the eighteenth green. In terms of its brutality and finality, it stands alone. It's a bolt of lightning; fascinating and frightening; a shot of pure adrenaline that only the very rarest moments can provide. This book examines&nbsp;what it's like for the people at the centre of that storm. How does it feel to land that ultimate blow? How does it feel to suffer it?&nbsp;The Knockout&nbsp;assesses the impact it has on the fighters and the people close to it and asks what it takes mentally, physically and emotionally for a person to enter into an arena where&nbsp;the stakes are so unimaginably high. Agony and ecstasy, triumph and disaster, hope and despair, self-belief and doubt, The Knockout&nbsp;embraces it all, with&nbsp;interviews and insight&nbsp;from the following&nbsp;boxing insiders and experts:Boxers:&nbsp;Carl Froch, Ricky Hatton, David Haye, Tony Bellew, Amir Khan, Deontay Wilder, Jamie Moore, Matthew Macklin, Johnny Nelson, Anthony Yarde, Scott Welch, Fabio Wardley, Karriss Artingstall, Lauren Price, Spencer Oliver, Anthony Crolla Trainers:&nbsp;Teddy Atlas, Billy Graham, Peter Fury, Dave Coldwell, Joe Gallagher, Mark Seltzer Referees:&nbsp;Kenny Bayless, Marcus McDonnell, Charlie Fitch, Victor Loughlin Promoters:&nbsp;Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn Observers:&nbsp;Steve Bunce, Thomas Hauser, Tris Dixon, Dr Neil Scott, Sara Chenery Part macro, part micro exploration, the narrative will move across the physical, psychological, social and even philosophical aspects of the knockout. With insights from renowned commentators, as well as fighters, their coaches, doctors and family members, this is a complete look at&nbsp;the finishing blow that brings any match to a sudden close, and the repercussions that follow. Featuring&nbsp;extensive coverage of Froch vs Groves II, the epic rematch that saw Carl Froch knock out George Groves with what proved to be the final punch of his career and close the book on their bitter rivalry,&nbsp;The Knockout&nbsp;goes&nbsp;deeper into the phenomenon than ever seen before&nbsp;and explores the idea of male vulnerability and the delicate nature of many boxers, particularly pronounced once they have experienced a knockout.

Sport's Most Decisive Moment

The Knockout

10,000 miles. 16 countries. 352 days. Hardest Geezer, Russ Cook, is the first person to run the entire length of Africa. From his starting point in Cape Agulhas, South Africa, through sandstorms in the Sahara Desert, rainforests, mountain ranges and long empty roads stretched out for miles in front of him, Russ ran the equivalent of 386 marathons finally crossing the finish line in Tunisia 50 weeks later. Attempted kidnaps, being held at gunpoint in an armed robbery and the whole challenge left hanging in the balance when he was denied the right to cross Algeria, Russ never once contemplated giving up. When he crossed the finish line in Ras Angela, he did so with the eyes of the world on him. Africa may have been his most physical challenge yet but it certainly wasn't his first: he's broken the record for the fastest car-pulling marathon and been buried alive for a week with nothing but water and a camera to record the experience. In Hardest Geezer: Running Africa, Russ Cook shares how he turned his life around to face these challenges and shares his motivations and tales of incredible determination, sheer grit and endurance. 'You get one chance at life. Go and have a stab at it.'

But while teaching a seminar on the history of African American athletes at Florida Memorial College in 1981, he realized there was a vast amount of material about Black achievement that had never been collected, analyzed, and interpreted. To help to fill the gap, he began with the subject he knew best: sports.A Hard Road to Glory Volume 1 covers the period from 1619, when enslaved Africans were first brought to American shores, to 1918, the end of the First World War. Ashe reveals that from 1865 through 1896, Black Americans succeeded spectacularly in sports, witnessing accomplishments of athletes like Jack Johnson, the first Black heavyweight champion; Marshall Taylor, ?the world's fastest cyclist;? and Isaac Murphy, a Hall of Fame jockey and the first three-time winner of the Kentucky Derby.In 2021, Black athletes and Black women in particular are receiving more visibility than ever for their unparalleled, world record-breaking excellence, their activism, and their leadership and vision.

'A beautiful read' Danny Dyer 'Neil's book has given me a new-found appreciation of how he used the "Razor" alter ego to mask what he was going through . . . the turnaround in him is a revelation' Alan Shearer 'Razor' was Neil Ruddock's caricature of the larger-than-life football hardman, a persona which become a comfort blanket to smother every mood, every emotion. When his front door closed, the laughter stopped. With his trademark humour and brutal honesty, Ruddock recounts how he spiralled so far out of control that he lost sight of who he really was. No matter how he was feeling, he reached for the same old answer -the mask of 'Razor' and a big night out. Toxic is Ruddock's candid and inspiring memoir charting his journey of self-destruction through to pressing the reset button after his dangerous addiction's took him to the brink of death. This is the moving story of the battle of Ruddock's life: to find the strength to free himself from the shackles of the person he thought he needed to be, and become the man he always knew he was. 'A courageous and fascinating autobiography' Robbie Fowler 'Toxic has given me a more rounded picture of Neil. To have the strength and determination to transform his life is a special thing' Robbie Williams

Neil 'Razor' Ruddock tells the inspiring and uplifting story of how he faced the battle of his life: to become a different person.

A History of Football in 100 Objects

"From "the master of new journalism [who always] hits it over the fence" (New York Times) and "one of the finest writers on sports anywhere" (USA Today), the scintillating story of lacrosse-the game invented by the Haudenosaunee, played with more passion than any other, that stubbornly mirrors America's ongoing struggle with inclusivity. Nearly a millennium ago, Native Americans created lacrosse as a means of training warriors and settling disputes. Co-opted by whites in the late 1800s, played for a century largely at elite east coast colleges, over the past thirty years lacrosse has exploded around the world, becoming the fastest growing sport in the US while exposing the fault lines of prejudice and privilege that continue to dog its image. At the same time, the spiritual nature and dazzling style of the Native game has been elevated to center stage as the brilliant Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) play as a nation unto themselves, maintaining their deep traditions and hoping for inclusion in the 2028 Olympics. Based on seven years of research and observation and crafted with consummate skill, The American Game takes readers inside a unique cultural landscape that nonetheless reflects the wider world. Skillfully weaving in compelling action on the field from World Championships to tense NCAA tournaments, Price also chronicles the controversies and anomalies that have in many ways defined lacrosse. Racism stubbornly persists-and the Haudenosaunee have endured plenty in their rise-yet few mainstream entities have done more to champion the Native American experience. The Duke rape case and the murder of Yeardley Love still resonate, reinforcing the sport's elite "laxbro" image, yet women remain the core force powering its astonishing boom. Lacrosse's longtime link with Wall Street remains, but its bond with elite military service is just as remarkable. Price introduces legendary individuals from Jim Brown (some say he was even better at lacrosse than football), Black superstar Kyle Harrison and the brilliant Iroquois stickman Lyle Thompson, to famed coaches Lars Tiffany and Kelly Amonte Hiller and Onondaga faithkeeper Oren Lyons. All of them, and all who play the game, pay homage to the mystical qualities of the lacrosse stick, which American coaching icon Bill Tierney calls "the thing that makes you special." A masterpiece of narration and investigation, The American Game is the powerful story of a sport that, perhaps more than any other, captures the complexity of America in its ongoing effort to achieve a more perfect union"--
