The Bumper Book of Slightly Forgotten but Nevertheless Still Great British Olympians and Other Sporting Heroes Book

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. From Dressage's first punk Tom Drake, who shocked the sport with his slashed jacket and swear words on his hat to the javelin thrower who fell under the spell of a cult devoted to the eating of egg and chips, this book contains true sports stories that have to be read to be believed!Read More
