From Crawley to Carlisle by Chris Upfield Pdf

From Crawley to Carlisle: A Trawl Around League Two invites readers to join the author, Chris Upfield, and the friends and family who accompany him to far-flung places in the pursuit of football happiness in this semi-autobiographical experience of the life of a lower league football supporter. Chris writes a sardonic and often hilarious examination of modern football culture, from the players, supporters and songs to the grounds and lower-league hospitality. The reader can experience the nostalgia of flashbacks to the 60s, 70s and 80s from ice cream soda to subbuteo, and laugh at the writer’s middle aged frustrations at the vagaries of everything from train journeys to motorway gantries. In addition to this, the reader is taken to cities of culture like York, Oxford and Cambridge and the less celebrated Carlisle, Mansfield and Crawley. Alongside this football theme, Chris also gives his own observations of modern life more generally. Inspired by Louis de Bernières and Bill Bryson, From Crawley to Carlisle: A Trawl Around League Two takes football away days as its theme and will appeal to football fans. The book is also a compendium of the author’s quirky imagination upon modern culture, and the things which trigger those thoughts along the way. It will suit readers of autobiographical and observational works with a similar cynical sense of humour and a passing interest in football.

From Despair to Delirium by Howard Falshaw Pdf

This book began as a series of blog posts, each post based on the most recent Carlisle United match. It charts the club's decline in the 2021-2022 season to a point in February 2022 when the club found itself in the League Two relegation zone. The return of Carlisle-born former manager Paul Simpson saw the club embark on a dramatic revival which resulted in Carlisle United comfortably avoiding relegation. The author was present at many of those games that ensured the team's climb to safety. Following retirement in July 2022, the author was in a position to buy season tickets for himself and his son, meaning that they were able to attend about 75% of the club's games in the 2022-2023 season, clocking up well over 7,000 miles in the process. in addition to the physical journey, It was a remarkable metaphorical journey for the club. Mild expectation grew into optimism, grew into ambition, grew into expectation, before the remarkable denouement that saw Carlisle win an unlikely promotion to League One in the most dramatic fashion, via a penalty shoot-out in the play-off final at Wembley. This book recounts that two-season journey blow-by-blow, each post written within two or three days of the relevant game and not revised with the benefit of hindsight. It is an essential read for any supporter of Carlisle United, but will also resonate with any supporter of a lower-league football club who has endured years (sometimes decades) of disappointment, despair and frustration before achieving that brief, but precious, moment in the sun.

Ten to Win . . . And the Last Man In by Henry Blofeld Pdf

'Is there anything in sport to compare with the sustained excitement of a cricket match, especially a Test match, in which the advantage continually fluctuates one way and then the other, and when the match enters its last few minutes, all four results are still possible?' After entertaining countless radio listeners around the world for decades, who better to convey the breathless drama of a Test match cliffhanger than Henry Blofeld? Now, in Ten to Win . . . and the Last Man In, he has personally selected thirty matches featuring unforgettable finishes and brought them vividly to life again in his own inimitable way. Ranging from the match-winning bowling of F.R. Spofforth against W.G. Grace's England in 1882, via the first tied Test between Benaud's Australia and Worrell's West Indies in 1960, to the never-say-die batting of Ben Stokes in 2019, he picks out the key events and performances of each memorable match and describes them as only he can. Alongside the big-hitting heroics of Jessop in 1902 and Botham in 1981, he revisits less celebrated matches such as South Africa's hard-fought first Test win in 1906, as well as a crucial innings from Denis Compton in 1948 and a match-saving performance by a young Alan Knott in Guyana in 1968 - one of the most exciting matches he has ever witnessed first-hand. Filled with colourful detail and informed by insight gained from a lifetime immersed in the sport he loves, Henry Blofeld's latest book will leave the reader in no doubt - as he himself puts it - about 'what an absurdly irresistible game cricket can be'.
