My Kind of Club: The Inside Story of Neil Warnock's Cardiff City is the real-life tale of a managerial throwback and his final shot at the big time. When Neil Warnock took charge of Cardiff City in October 2016, they were a rabble - a fragmented club who lay in the Championship's relegation zone, without direction or unity. As for Warnock, he was pondering retirement, believing he could never manage at the highest level again after a series of high-profile failures. But together they were about to go on the footballing journey of a lifetime: to promotion, to the Premier League and back again, all with Warnock at the centre. This avuncular and endearing management veteran struck up a unique rapport with the Cardiff supporters by whom he'll always be affectionately remembered. This book, written by a journalist who witnessed it all first-hand, takes you inside Warnock's regime, into the heart of the transfers, the trials and tribulations of a truly unique period of Cardiff City history.

Racing Stewart tells the story of this remarkable adventure, charting in full for the first time ever, the birth of a Grand Prix challenger. Hamilton and Nicholson were granted unparalleled access to the team from Stewart's initial decision, giving them a behind-the-scenes look at the peaks and valleys that are an inevitable part of gaining acceptance in this ruthless sport.

... John Cooper designed and built some of the best cars ever raced. He began with the Cooper 500, a then revolutionary car assembled wrecked Fiats in the parts-scarce days just after World War II.
