Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff is one of the most exciting cricketers in the world and has improved out of all recognition during the last two years.

He walked off with the England man of the series award and averages to flaunt. This audiobook marks his story so far in his own words, taking us up to and including the summer of 2005.

Publisher's Summary:

Revered in Newcastle and the North-East, Sir Bobby Robson is a man whose fame knows no boundaries and who enjoys phenomenal popularity. His hugely successful playing days with Fulham and West Brom in the 1950s and 1960s, his 20 England caps and his brilliant management career over the past 38 years mean that he has inspired generations of fans.

He has been witness to some of the most historic sporting moments throughout his incredible career, and in his book remembers epic incidents from the 'Hand of God' to the tears of Gazza. He also relives leading England through two World Cups, and the pain of coming within a penalty kick of the 1990 World Cup final.

Sir Bobby's story is a rich and diverse one and this autobiography will celebrate his remarkable life.

Bobby Robson

As a football fan, it is wonderful to hear Bobby talk of his life and his memories of events throughout his footballing days. He was a gentleman in a game no longer blessed with men of character and honesty as was the case in his heyday - a thoroughly enjoyable experience to listen to him and football fans will be interested to hear about the salary and contract negotiations going on behind the scenes. This is not just for Ipswich and Newcastle fans, its for every football fan.

World class man and coach.

As an Ipswich season ticket holder and someone who watched Ipswich during the Robson years, I was rather nervous when I downloaded this book.

Would it portray Sir Bobby in the right light?

I had nothing to worry about. The man is a genius. Every young person should listen to this. It's a lesson in life and doing the right thing. He has honor and integrity in spades. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

one of sports gentlemen

as with ramsey and ferguson areal gentleman of the game agreat read by the autor i love it when the actual person who writes it reads his or her book love the story of sir bobby robson well written and a great manager of his generation

sir Bobby Robson...gone but not forgotten

having listened to this audiobook i cannot recommend it enough. Sir Bobby was a true gent who was also a football master. He spent his career getting to the top of his profession when money was not the over riding requirement to obtain sucsess, a time when we as a footballing nation concentrated on bringing home grown talent to the top players playing for our clubs and then representing their country when the most important thing was, representing your country.It saddens me these great days of true english football have gone but memories contained within this book will always remain to show these golden days of our national sport.

Thanks for the memories sir Bobby.

Excellent

Fantastic, you don't have to be a football fan to really enjoy this audiobook but if you are it's even more enjoyable.

Title: The Opening Shots

Publisher's Summary:

In the face of the relentless German advance into Belgium, the British Expeditionary Force was engaged in the costly retreat from Mons. The German Army soon took Antwerp, and only the 'miracle of the Marne' stopped them from marching into Paris. The First Battle of Ypres prevented the Germans from reaching the coast, but both sides dug in and the wretched system of trench warfare was established.

Following the extraordinary Christmas truce, ferocious fighting restarted over the snow covered battlefields, and casualties on both sides were heavy. In the late spring of 1915 the second Battle of Ypres took place and the Germans used poison gas for the first time. The toll in killed and wounded was disastrous, the British alone losing 50,000 men; but the Allies finally managed to halt the enemy advance.

Members Reviews:

A moving testament into a harrowing experience.

This book delivers the personal stories from the excited camaraderie of "Pals" together, proudly having signed up for an adventure, to the filth and fear experienced being shipped to France in cattle trucks and everything that followed. Very moving! I could imagine the experience and it made me feel glad to be warm and cosy at home.

Title: Erik Spoelstra: The Inspiring Life and Leadership Lessons of One of Basketball's Greatest Coaches

Subtitle: Basketball Biography & Leadership Books

Author: Clayton Geoffreys

Narrator: Jimmy Allen Fuller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-16-17

Publisher: Calvintir Books, LLC

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

In Erik Spoelstra: The Inspiring Life and Leadership Lessons of One of Basketball's Greatest Coaches, you will learn the story of one of basketball's premier coaches, Erik Spoelstra. In his tenure as the head coach of the Miami Heat, Spoelstra has been responsible for guiding the Heat to four NBA Finals appearances and two NBA Championships. He is most known for coaching the Heat during the Big Three era of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.

Even after the end of the Big Three era, Spoelstra has remained highly regarded in the league due to his ability to bring out the best from the players he has available on his rosters. Most recently in the 2016-2017 season, Spoelstra led the Heat to a 41-41 finish, despite the team starting their season 10-31. The season was reminiscent of their Sunshine State neighbor, the Orlando Magic, and their "Heart and Hustle" season when Doc Rivers broke out as a top regarded coach in the league.

Title: The Beast

Subtitle: My Story

Author: Adebayo Akinfenwa

Narrator: Damien Lynch

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-02-17

Publisher: Headline

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Messi might be the most skilful, and Ronaldo might have the best shot, but according to FIFA it's 16-stone Adebayo Akinfenwa who's the strongest footballer in the world. With a larger-than-life personality to match, it's no wonder 'The Beast' has become an icon, attracting millions of social media followers, launching his own clothing label, and still banging in the goals for Wycombe Wanderers.

With such fame and adoration, it's easy to forget that Bayo is one of the hardest-working footballers around. His mental strength has had to be equal to his physical. Told by English clubs he was 'too big' to play football, he joined Lithuanian team FK Atlantas as a teenager, where he faced widespread racial abuse.

A career of grafting in the lower leagues of English and Welsh football followed, with spells at Barry Town, Torquay, Swansea, Gillingham, Northampton and AFC Wimbledon. Bayo's charisma and knack of scoring vital goals made him a fan favourite at each.

His last-ever kick for the Dons was a penalty at Wembley to help win the club promotion. 'I think I'm technically unemployed,' he told an interviewer after the final whistle. 'So any managers hit me up on the WhatsApp and get me a job!'

Inspiring, entertaining and full of character, this is the story of how Akinfenwa became a true cult hero and the never-give-up attitude that made him the biggest footballer on the planet.

Titolo: Wilma Rudolph: Il vento in quattro (Olimpicamente)

Autore: Mario Mucciarelli, G. Sergio Ferrentino

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 20 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 12-17-15

Editore: Fonderia Mercury srl

Categoria: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Riepilogo Editore:

Che cosa pensa un atleta mentre compie un'azione sportiva? Quali sono le parole che passano nella testa di chi sta correndo una maratona, lanciando un peso, lottando in vasca per vincere la medaglia d'oro alle Olimpiadi? Ecco da cosa parte "Olimpicamente". Perché tutti i racconti, anche quelli di sport, nascono con la voglia di rispondere ad alcune domande.

Nel 1960, l'anno dei giochi olimpici di Roma, negli Stati Uniti ci sono Stati in cui i neri non possono entrare negli stessi bar dei bianchi; la sola idea di un matrimonio misto fa tremare di inquietudine anche la stragrande maggioranza dei liberal. Lo sport è un buon modo per emanciparsi, come aveva dimostrato Jesse Owens.

Wilma Rudolph nasce nel 1940, ventesima figlia su ventidue di una famiglia non certo ricca, a Clarksville, Tennessee. Wilma è una promessa dell'atletica leggera. Fa parte di un gruppo di atlete allenate dal coach Ed Temple: le Tigerbelles. Un pugno di velociste nere che Temple sta seguendo tra mille difficoltà. Inflessibile e severo, si prende cura di ogni aspetto della crescita delle ragazze. Ed Temple non immagina che sarebbe stata proprio lei a infrangere una delle regole principali che aveva dato alle sue Tigerbelles: niente madri in squadra.

Perché tutti i racconti, anche quelli di sport, nascono con la voglia di rispondere ad alcune domande.

Quella di Richard "Dick" Norris Williams potrebbe essere una storia notevole, ma per forza non più notevole di altre. Quella di un tennista, tra i migliori al principio del '900, quando il tennis era ancora un passatempo per le classi agiate. Un campione con dei successi e degli allori, ma in fondo niente altro da segnalare.

Ciò che invece ha reso eccezionale la sua storia è l'aver incrociato una delle grandi tragedie della sua epoca. Di quelle che non si sono mai smesse di raccontare. Il porto è quello di Cherbourg. La nave è il transatlantico più grande e lussuoso del suo tempo: il Titanic!

1992, giochi olimpici di Barcellona. Si corre la semifinale dei 400 metri piani maschili. Dereck Redmond, ha 26 anni, è il primatista britannico. E quell'attesa l'ha già vissuta un'altra volta, quattro anni prima, sulla pista di Seoul. Era pronto, si stava riscaldando quando il tendine di achille ha fatto crack.

Allo stadio, tra le 56.000 persone che affollano lo stadio del Montjuic, c'è anche il padre. Che lo ha visto partire e risollevarsi, che lo ha accompagnato fin lì e che adesso lo sta guardando dalla tribuna. E se potesse regalargli tutto il vento del mondo per portarlo al traguardo lo farebbe all'istante. Perchè quello è suo figlio.
