"Many of today's footballers live their lives like Hollywood film stars. The story of Eamonn O'Keefe's life could be the script of a Hollywood film but there would be only one problem-nobody would believe it was a true story! I can assure you it is. You couldn't make it up if you tried!" -Howard Wilkinson, Ex-England Manager and current Chairman of the League Managers Association. - "I first met Eamonn when we played together for the Republic of Ireland. His football exploits around the world were common knowledge within football circles-but were not well-documented publicly. It should be a great read!-Good luck with it, Eamonn." - Frank Stapleton, former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland International player. "I grew up in Blackley, North Manchester in England, in a family of nine. There was Gran, Mam, Dad and six children. Fifty years later, I am unsure how we all managed to fit into the three-bedroom house where we lived. I recall the struggles - and the hilarity - that we all experienced on a day-to-day basis, and remember how I worked toward my ultimate dream of becoming a successful professional footballer." Eamonn O'Keefe recalls, in his humorous memoir ...I Only Wanted to Play Football, how he played the game at non-league, league and international level in England, Ireland and Saudi Arabia, moving from club to club. His many incidents included an arrest in Blackpool, when a practical joke backfired, and he spent a day's interrogation under suspicion of being an IRA terrorist. "I was delighted, at the age of 22, to be the first European ever to be signed to play for the Al Hilal Football Club in Saudi Arabia. But when the Prince, who was then president of the club, told me that he was in love with me, I was even more delighted to leave - and it became necessary for me to flee Saudi and return to the safety of England!" First-time author Eamonn O'Keefe was born in 1953 in Manchester, England, and played football professionally during the 1970s and 1980s. With the encouragement of his wife, Lorna, he finally penned his memoirs. The author is retired and now resides in Portugal.

The autobiography of Dutch soccer legend Johan Cruyff, whose remarkable life and impeccable style have influenced star players and clubs for decades Johan Cruyff embodied a footballing philosophy that now dominates coaching and playing styles in all the leading club sides around the world. You can dispute whether Cruyff was the greatest player ever -- he was certainly one of the top three -- but he is undoubtedly the player who single-handedly changed the nature of the game. My Turn tells the story of Cruyff's remarkable career, built on the techniques he learned playing in the streets of postwar Amsterdam while hoping to be noticed by the city's famous club, Ajax. He would eventually inspire that team to eight league championships and three European cups. He won his first of three Ballons d'Or at twenty-four in 1971. In 1973, Cruyff was sold to Barcelona for a world-record transfer fee. He led the Catalans to victory in La Liga for the first time since 1960, and went on to leave a lasting mark on Spanish soccer. In the 1974 World Cup, Cruyff propelled the Dutch team to the final for the first time. Cruyff's lasting influence, however, is not in the medals he won, but in the style of play he epitomized and then applied to the Barcelona and Ajax teams he coached. His vision of "Total Football" transformed the way soccer was played, and its dazzling fluidity became the basis of the most admired sides around the world. He was the sport's uncompromising genius on and off the field of play.

For the last quarter century, Dan Jenkins has been fixing his cold-eyed stare and wisecracking style on the real-life Billy Clyde and Kenny Lee Pucketts of the sports world. You Call It Sports, But I Say It’s a Jungle Out There is a collection of his best work from Sports Illustrated, Playboy, Golf Digest, and his nationally syndicated column, and includes a stack of new pieces written especially for this book. Jenkins spares no one in his search for the culprits who have taken the fun out of sports: NFL owners and refs, PGA Tour administrators, basketball players who can’t read, tennis players who can’t speak English (or say anything worth hearing when they do). He also finds things worth celebrating: the electric charge given off by Arnold Palmer at his best, the excitement of a truly great college football game, or a real heavyweight champion, like Joe Louis. Overflowing with good ol’ boys, great one-liners, famous sporting events, and barroom tales, this is the best of Dan Jenkins—which is to say, it’s as good as sportswriting gets anywhere.
