Why We Kneel How We Rise by Michael Holding ✓ In Stock

Through the prism of sport and conversations with its legends, including Usain Bolt, Adam Goodes, Thierry Henry, Michael Johnson, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Makhaya Ntini, Naomi Osaka and Hope Powell, Michael Holding explains how racism dehumanises people; how it works to achieve that end; how it has been ignored by history and historians; and what it is like to be treated differently just because of the colour of your skin. Rarely can a rain delay in a cricket match have led to anything like the moment when Holding spoke out in the wake of the #BlackLivesMatter protests about the racism he has suffered and has seen all around him throughout his life. But as he spoke, he sought not only to educate but to propose a way forward that inspired so many. Within minutes, he was receiving calls from famous sports stars from around the world offering to help him to spread the message further. Now, in Why We Kneel, How We Rise, Holding shares his story together with those of some of the most iconic athletes in the world. He delivers a powerful and inspiring message of hope for the future and a vision for change, and takes you through history to understand the racism of today. He adds: 'To say I was surprised at the volume of positive feedback I received from around the world after my comments on Sky Sports is an understatement. I came to realise I couldn't just stop there; I had to take it forward - hence the book, as I believe education is the way forward.' ISBN 9781398503267

Gary Lineker : A Portrait of a Football Icon by Chris Evans (Large Paperback) ✓ In Stock

ENGLAND CAPTAIN. WORLD CUP HERO. SERIAL GOALSCORER. MATCH OF THE DAY HOST. FOOTBALL ICON. This new biography – the first for 30 years – looks at the phenomenal career of Gary Lineker, and how he became one of England’s greatest ever goal-scorers and the BBC’s leading football presenter for more than two decades. 'I have full admiration for Gary’s career' – Bob Wilson OBEAs player and pundit, Gary Lineker has been a prominent figure in English football for more than 40 years. He scored 48 goals in 80 games for England – coming within a penalty of being the country’s record goalscorer – and is the only player to have topped the goalscoring charts at three different clubs. He famously never received a red or yellow card, and hosted the BBC’s Match of the Day for 25 years. This enlightening biography follows Lineker’s career, from the school report which said, 'He concentrates too much on football’ to his phenomenal goalscoring record and development as a media personality. Through meticulous research and interviews with teammates and opponents, coaches, journalists and commentators, the book reveals the inside stories and backroom anecdotes from his early days at Leicester City; the big-money moves to Everton and Tottenham Hotspur; and the highs and lows of spells at Barcelona and Nagoya Grampus Eight in Japan. While playing for England, Lineker was also at the centre of memorable World Cup campaigns. In 1986 his hat-trick turned round the nation’s fortunes and helped win him the tournament’s golden boot, before England were struck down by Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’. In 1990, his goals helped England reach an unforgettable semi-final against West Germany, where his reaction to Gazza’s tears was truly iconic. His post-football career saw him become a consummate presenter on Match of the Day and other BBC Sports broadcasts. Gary Lineker always played with a smile on his face and an assassin’s touch in front of goal, while his charm and playful humour won ove
