Ryan Nelsen's Road to the World Cup order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each
Paperback
Author: Ryan Nelsen with Tony Smith
In Stock: 4
The All Whites soccer team did what no other New Zealand sporting team managed in 2009: they stopped a nation dead and created one of the greatest moments of sporting theatre this country has ever witnessed. Never mind that they were playing tiny Bahrain; never mind that neither New Zealand nor Bahrain was ranked inside FIFA's top 60 footballing nations. This was the all-or-nothing, 'One Shot For Glory' game that would catapult the winner on to soccer's greatest stage - the World Cup. Rarely do games like this live up to their billing, but the All Whites' heroic 1-0 victory in Wellington to secure the home-and-away tie actually exceeded expectations. Now, the All Whites have South Africa 2010 to look forward to and their talented captain Ryan Nelsen (captain of the English team Blackburn Rovers) plots the path in this 'fanzine' publication. 'Nelly' will pen his own views on all the players, the opposition they will face, and talk of ... more

On 26 July 1928 Tom Heeney entered the ring at New York's Yankee Stadium, in front of 46,000 spectators, wearing a Maori cloak. Guaranteed $100,000, he was about to fight world heavyweight champion Gene Tunney.

This beautifully written and extensively researched book follows the life of one of New Zealand's most colourful sports personalities from a labourer's cottage in Gisborne to the nightclubs of Broadway to fishing in Florida with Ernest Hemingway.

Wherever you are on earth, it's only a matter of time before you will come across children playing football. Across every continent, football is a common language and a culture shared: a joy, a passion, an escape and an affirmation of identity understood and celebrated.

'I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at seventy-five miles per hour. I want to cross one last finish line as my wife and ten children applaud, and then I want to lie down in a field of those famous French sunflowers and gracefully expire: the perfect contradiction to my once anticipated poignant early demise.'

'A slow death is not for me. I don't do anything slow, not even breathe.'

In 1996 twenty-four-year-old Lance Armstrong was ranked the number one cyclist in the world. But that October the Golden Boy of American cycling was sidelined by advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain. His chance for recovery was as low as twenty per cent. Armstrong embarked on the most aggressive form of chemotherapy available and underwent surgery - including brain surgery - to remove ... more

Author: Jan Stradling

Sporting events are battles...but not always just between competitors. They are sometimes part of something much bigger: a war that may involve not only the players on the field but also their nationality, race, faith, sex or religious beliefs. Throughout history, sport has provided a snapshot of the social and political climate of the times. This book looks at the fascinating stories behind some of the world's greatest sporting battles, including: African-American athlete Jesse Owens' triumph at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, making a mockery of Hitler's white supremacy doctrine; Argentinian soccer player Diego Maradona hitting back at the UK, his country's enemy in the Falklands War, with his 'hand of God' goal; the Cold War defeat of the 'unbeatable' USSR ice hockey team by a bunch of inexperienced US college students; and the infamous 'Bodyline' cricket series between imperial power and dominion, England and Australia, in 1932-3.
