Great Sporting Moments
100 memorable moments
Description
Great Sporting Moments brings you more than 100 of the most memorable single moments from over a century of sport: the very moment that Henry Cooper floored Cassius Clay, Steven Redgrave’s feelings when he won his record fifth Olympic gold medal, the oft-quoted moment that England won the World Cup – ‘They think it’s all over … it is now!’
Including extracts from radio and television commentaries and first-hand accounts from the sportsmen and women themselves, Great Sporting Moments is a nostalgic collection of sport’s best-remembered moments, from the first Grand National to the last Ryder Cup. This is a book for avid sports fans and casual observers alike. It will indulge those who remember where they were when Nadia Comaneci scored the first perfect 10 in Olympic history, when Ian Botham single-handedly dismantled the Australian cricket team at Headingley, or when Red Rum won the Grand National for a historic third time.
