In this wonderful celebration of all that is best about the world's greatest football league, talkSPORT has taken on the challenge of listing the 100 greatest Premiership legends. Featuring contributions from many of talkSPORT's presenters, including Alan Brazil, Darren Gough and Stan Collymore, the talkSPORT team has drawn up its definitive listing of Premiership stars. Of course, being talkSPORT, nothing is straightforward and the opinions are hotly debated. Some surprising names make into the list, while others are relegated to the bottom or even fail to appear at all. Who comes out on top: Gianfranco Zola or Alan Shearer? How do you decide who's in and who's out from 20 years of footballing genius? Each of the stars is fully profiled, with surprising and fascinating information revealed about all of them, and their individual ranking in the list is fully justified. In short, this book will not only provide great football memories of moments that won leagues, spared clubs from relegation, and drew stunned silence from watching crowds, but cause much controversy - just like talkSPORT itself.

Back in August 1930, West Bromwich Albion embarked upon a season the like of which the game had never seen before, has not seen since and which - and I think we can safely bet the family silver, if there's any left, on this - will never be seen again. From the depths of the Second Division - that's the Championship these days - the Throstles mounted what remains the single most extraordinary campaign in their entire history, for not only did they fight their way to promotion but, in a land before squad rotation, they battled through to Wembley Stadium and carried off the FA Cup to boot. It's only right that we this milestone is marked, due homage paid to a time when imperishable Albion legends such as Tommy Glidden, Stan Wood, Teddy Sandford and W.G. Richardson left an indelible mark on the history of the football club and the wider game in general, creating history that will never be surpassed. Preparing for 1930/31, it was very clear that the year ahead was going to be a vital one for the future of the football club. For if the financial gulf between First and Second Division clubs was not at the monumental levels that it is today, it's still true to say that the longer you stayed away from the top table, the harder it would be to find a seat there again. Just as becoming an established First Division club means you're psychologically less likely to worry about the drop, so being mired in the Second Division for any length of time means that you stop considering yourselves to be a member of the elite. Promotion was becoming imperative.Not that it was easy, for the division was packed with big clubs looking to elbow their way back into the big time. Albion were joined by Tottenham Hotspur, the Wolves, Preston, Stoke and Nottingham Forest amongst others while having just taken the drop from the First Division were Burnley and Everton, the team that still featured the legendary Dixie Dean up front. Being one of the best two teams in that league was going to be a proper test. This is the full story of a unique double.

Norman Parkin's exotic football career took him all around the world, and he's still coaching football teams in the Philippines. On 8 November 2013, he touched down at Manila airport, as a natural disaster unfolded around him. He decided to do something to help: to write a book about some of football's greatest legends and rebels. Long-term aid is still desperately needed to rebuild shattered lives in the Philippines. Norman travelled up and down the UK, and spent hours on the phone to capture the stories of the heroes, villains and true characters of football, from Stanley Matthews to Malcolm Macdonald. On a quest to discover the true heart and soul of the beautiful game, he met ex-players in pubs, cafes, offices and radio stations. Open the pages to discover a world of blood, sweat and broken bones, a far cry from the multi-million pound game that football has become today. All royalties after expenses from the sale of the book will go to the Philippines Typhoon Relief Fund.

Scotland may not have won a World Cup (yet!), but many of the country’s sportsmen and women are revered as global legends, including Olympic and US Open champion Andy Murray and winner of six Olympic gold medals, Sir Chris Hoy. In football, the likes of Denis Law, ‘Slim’ Jim Baxter and Jimmy ‘Jinky’ Johnstone would not have looked out of place in the canary yellow of Brazil, while managers Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly and Jock Stein have become part of football folklore, as has Sir Alex Ferguson in more recent times. Amazingly, Scots have reached the top in just about every major sport: Jim Clark and Sir Jackie Stewart in Formula One; Andy Murray in tennis; Ken Buchanan and Benny Lynch in the boxing ring; Chris Hoy in cycling; sprinters Allan Wells and Eric Liddell on the Olympic track; and, as befits a nation renowned as ‘the home of golf’, Sandy Lyle was recognised as the greatest player on the planet upon winning the Masters in 1988. Scottish sport is the richest of tapestries and in Scottish Sporting Legends the cream of the crop are entertainingly profiled in a revealing collection of pen portraits of stars past and present.
