One of the creators of Never Mind The Buzzcocks and They Think It's All Over, Simon Bullivant's The Bumper Book of Slightly Forgotten but Nevertheless Still Great British Olympians and Other Sporting Heroes is a fascinating sporting collection of tales of pluck, grit, triumph, disaster and ineptitude. Praised by Nick Hancock, the book features a cast of former sportspeople who have been largely forgotten by history.
