Far from being a passive spectator, we learn how Paul struggled to care for his mother through several strokes and Alzheimer’s disease and of the rift this caused within his family. He also speaks of the Community Care system, his experiences of education and employment, and the loyalty of his friends. This is his account of life as a fan of Darlington Football Club which reveals another side to Paul’s nature, with its fascinating compendium of mishaps and drink-fueled escapades, which are invariably laced with his own brand of black humour. Give Them Wings is a graphic story of one man’s fortitude in the face of severe odds, it offers a unique insight into what it means to be disabled in modern society. The book ties in with a blockbuster film of his life, Give Them Wings, directed by Sean Cronin which is now available on Netflix. The film won the “Best Feature” at The London Independent Film Festival and stars Daniel Watson (as Paul) together with Toyah Wilcox.<blockquote>There’s some of the innocence and goodwill of vintage British studio-era films here. ...

Cheekily created by the USMNT supporters who trolled England fans during the World Cup clash between the two sides questioning whether the beautiful game is called 'soccer' or 'football'. While England fans cringed at the USA fans' tongue-in-cheek chant, the slogan has become the catchphrase of the World Cup and is now emblazoned on a range of t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and mobile phone cases from G2. Priced from £20, the range is exclusively available from Amazon in the UK, US, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Japan.

Indeed, it has always been so since the tournament was first hosted by Uruguay in 1930. Felix de Vere Hunt's selection of the top 100 players to have graced the finals includes the golden generation of Brazilians such as Pele, Carlos Alberto and Jairzinho as well as the most gifted players of the 1970s and 80s including Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona, Gary Lineker and Gheorghe Hagi.&nbsp; Current stars such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe are also featured as are the finest English players from the World Cup-winning side of 1966: Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton, Geoff Hurst and Gordon Banks. Each entry provides information and statistics about the player’s career and their impact on the World Cup.&nbsp; The fully illustrated paperback is priced at £12.99 and £3.99 for the ebook &nbsp;<blockquote>Ideal stocking filler for football fans everywhere.</blockquote>

His voice was the soundtrack to many who have paid even the scantest attention to the old game. His posthumous memoirs, Reflections On A Life Well Lived records Peter's vivid recollections of a life and double-edged career in sport and media, one that is unlike any other and is surely never to be repeated. Sit back and listen to Peter Alliss do what he did best: ramble on about this and that in that famous voice of his, drawing sharp and funny observations from disparate quarters of life before inevitably tying everything neatly together and returning to the subject of golf. His memory for long-passed names and distant places remained extraordinarily sharp. He was also a man of his age which, naturally, meant there were more than a few facets of modern life he found confusing and exasperating. This, however, is surely true for any of us who have lived beyond the point where we wake up each day wondering what we ought to do with our lives. He appreciated his good fortune at being able to make a living from his ‘ramblings’ while, at the same time, possessing an acute awareness of his rare talent for finding the appropriate word or phrase while winging it over a television picture. His belief that, sometimes, silence is more eloquent than words flies in the noisy face of much modern broadcasting. He was all the more appreciated by many of us for sticking to this conviction and for daring to hold firm in the face of changing convention. Peter is gone now, but the spirit of kindness in which he lived his life reverberates still.&nbsp; Priced at £25, the hardback coffee-table book is now available from leading book shops and Amazon. &nbsp;<blockquote>One of the biggest sports books of the year, and ideal as a Christmas present for all golfers and fans of the late great commentator</blockquote>
